It wasn't a pleasant experience to be there tonight. I'm a recent convert to the sport (the wife to be is a big fan), so I can't overly judge what the root cause is, but I don't think we do enough on mental preparation for one. Apart from the odd moment, none of them appeared to ride as though they really wanted it. I read some comment that the track wasn't prepared how the brits like it, but you have to learn how to perform on every type of track if you want to be a winner. As much as I can't stand Pederson for his gamesmanship (The British GP was a prime example to me) he thinks like a winner, and rides like a winner. When he's out in front you don't feel as though he's defending the position, he's owning the track, and yet the brits never look entirely comfortable in front. I don't know where we go from here, but I will shout at the TV on Thursday to try and motivate them on via 'tele'pathy.
