Strange that the winner was as big as he was but Townend was on the right one and that should have been a big pointer.
Nico losing the plot at the start with his f’ing and blinding rant at the amateur Mr D L Queally for daring to be on his inside when he was trying to get an inside rail position – at least Luke and AP said he had every right to be there and then Ruby casually mentioning that Nico didn’t cover himself in glory last year when putting Jonbon’s head on the tape, so maybe he “should look in the mirror too”.
