This is Lady GaGa. I am not joking. Hello! And this is all of the fund | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
that you get backstage at the Olympia. The Shetland ponies, the | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
horses that put on a great show, the dogs are in the arena, but the | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
main focus is showjumping and this has been the man of the week: Ben | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Maher. You may have seen him win the World Cup qualifier on Sunday. | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
Fantastic! I couldn't have wished for a better end to the year. | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
terms of the Olympia Grand Prix, the big finale, you are riding | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
Tackeray. Do you have a serious chance? The game plan was to ride | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Triplex. He was fantastic yesterday but a bit tired this morning, so we | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
will rest him and used Tackeray, who I have only had for a couple of | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
months, but he is a good horse, it is a step up for him. If you have | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
had a fabulous week. Good luck. The British line-up includes Nick | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
Skelton, who is aiming to go to another Olympic Games. One of the | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
most experienced show jumpers in the world, he will be riding Big | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
:02:15. | :02:19. | ||
Star and I took time out with him and made was in 1978 when I broke | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
the high jump record. Yes! What a fantastic performance! I wasn't | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
very old. It made good TV coverage, it made the front page of the daily | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
newspapers. That had a big impact on my life. A star is born, Nick | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
Does it amaze you that you might get three generations of the family | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
who all of them know who you are? suppose, I had been at it a long | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
time, so you get the families, or whatever, probably the grant | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
mother's Remember Me More! I am 54 this month -- grandmothers remember | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
any more. You are going into an Olympic year. What is the strongest | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
line-up that Britain could offer? Actually, they have always said we | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
haven't got very good depth in our country but I disagree. I think we | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
have a good team. We can field a good team. Me, Scott Brash, Michael, | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
Ben Maher, John, Peter Charles, Robert Smith. I think we can put a | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
good team together but my mind is definitely set on next August. | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
you feel you have unfinished business with the Olympics? | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
last conversation in Athens, probably yes! Yeah. That was very | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
close. But at the end, it wasn't good enough. The horse was probably | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
a year too young, looking back. But this was has a different mentality. | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
At the end of the day, you need luck. We might be sitting in 12 | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
months' time thinking, where did it go wrong? But you have to give it a | :04:13. | :04:22. | |
good shot. Tell me about Carlo. was good at the Europeans. I was | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
disappointed not to have one. He was so close. He had the silly | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
fence down which he needn't have had. He was a bit unlucky. He did | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
not win but I was a bit annoyed about that. It was nice to get a | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
bronze medal but for London, that is the only thing that matters to | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
me, next year, it is London. would put everything else on hold? | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
Even risking your own health? Everything, yet. Definitely, for | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
sure. Let's say everything goes into plan and you right into the | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
arena in Greenwich with a shot at the Olympic gold medals. If you win | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
it, is that it for Nick Skelton? Do you ride off into the sunset? | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
don't think so. You want more, don't you. It would be one of the | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
stories of London 2012 if Nick Skelton were to make the team with | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
fixed are or Carlo. Nick Skelton has admitted he is not really an | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
indoor course, Big Star, so who is in contention to pick up a big | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
prize of �20,000? And D Austin will be alongside Michael Tucker in the | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
:05:44. | :05:45. | ||
commentary box. Verdi III went really well yesterday. He is a top | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
10 riders. That is a really good indoor horse. That is one I would | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
definitely go for. Meredith Michael's jumped an eight-year-old | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
yesterday. She has 16-year-old Checkmate tonight and that is a | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
horse that has a lot of top-class comic indoor, Grand Prix form. | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
Meredith is tiny! Does it help when a rider is so small? The weight on | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
a horse's does matter in a lot of equestrian sports. She is liked. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
Some of the big lads use their strength to their advantage because | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
of their power, but she has a light touch and she uses that to her | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
advantage and allows the horses to run and jump which has affected her | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
style. I have got a feeling that the big success that Ben Maher had | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
yesterday it might not be repeated for Britain tonight. I think we | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
have a German 14-year-old at mare, that horse has been saved for | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
tonight. Let's see how it pans out. An international class. A very big | :06:56. | :07:06. | |
:07:06. | :07:23. | ||
course, built by Bob Ellis. Let's season and this horse has had to | :07:24. | :07:33. | |
:07:34. | :07:38. | ||
Nevada, it is an open five strides and he had to push the horse down | :07:38. | :07:48. | |
:07:48. | :07:56. | ||
mainstays of the British team over the last few years. 1993, he won | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
:08:06. | :08:10. | ||
with Impulse. He was riding for and legs, trying to get the | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
:08:20. | :08:25. | ||
that entrance looking in determined mood and he rode like that, too, I | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
think. That was Peter riding at his best. He was incredibly determined | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
and he has a lot of strength to hold a horse in balance, keep the | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
horse focused. And so often, Peter comes out and jumps a clear round | :08:41. | :08:51. | |
on Grand Prix des. -- day. When Peter wants something, my word... | :08:51. | :09:01. | |
:09:01. | :09:06. | ||
watching. The Swiss is fourth in the world. Verdi III. This course | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
has been operating extremely world and one least it got Masters. He | :09:11. | :09:21. | |
:09:21. | :09:21. | ||
has had a good week. -- Stuttgart Masters. He put in a tremendous | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
performance on Saturday here. fascinating with breeding there | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
were days. This course is officially a Dutch were warm- | :09:35. | :09:43. | |
blooded. It is out of a German mare as well, so the bloodlines are | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
spreading all around Europe now. Let's remind ourselves of a | :09:47. | :09:55. | |
warmblood? That is a specialist tour spread on the Continent the | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
competition -- specialist horse. They originate from the working | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
mares, they have had some British blood, they have been bred | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
specifically for jumping and dressage. Very different from | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
thoroughbreds. That is the main point. No Irish blood in them at | :10:15. | :10:25. | |
:10:25. | :10:29. | ||
fence but improved the rest of the way. He has only got 10 seconds. | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
Very close... He could be in trouble. | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
:10:44. | :10:55. | ||
APPLAUSE. Look at that! Was it time, less than half a second. The | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
most important thing is, he is in the jump off. It is building into a | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
really exciting looking jump off a. Nick Skelton won it in 1982, 1983, | :11:10. | :11:19. | |
:11:20. | :11:29. | ||
with St James. Now riding his 80- sport. We know this is a super | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
talented horse. Nick Skelton feels that the horse is probably at his | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
best when he is outdoors. He is still a youngster. It was lovely to | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
hear him say in that, looking at the contenders for Britain, | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
unfinished business to be done, and that refers to Athens. So near, yet | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
so far. To win Olympic gold on that occasion. This, and of course he | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
won the bronze medal on in Madrid, are two medal contenders. But they | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
have got to be there at the Olympic Games, fit and ready to do the | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
business. Nick Skelton has two to choose from. This course will be | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
:12:24. | :12:33. | ||
that little bit more experienced. time but he is not going to feature | :12:33. | :12:41. | |
in this year's Olympia Grand Prix. Sometimes it can happen, that first | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
fence with a younger horse. Nick Skelton has not jumped him much | :12:45. | :12:55. | |
:12:55. | :13:04. | ||
is the world champion of 2002. A very good horseman. He has had | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
appeared in the wilderness but he is very much back. He was third for | :13:08. | :13:18. | |
:13:18. | :13:37. | ||
riding an Irish-bred horse, this one in Limerick. What so many Irish | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
horses on the scene nowadays. -- not so many. Dermott Lennon is | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
riding with great pace. interesting thing about Ireland is | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
that they have not qualified 18th for the Olympic Games so it will | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
only be individuals -- a team. And number of individuals will be | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
fighting for a place, this man and Billy Twomey. That was a very good | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
round. He kept up a very good pace and Dermott Lennon is really | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
impressing this week. Brilliant in the World Cup yesterday and another | :14:18. | :14:28. | |
:14:28. | :14:35. | ||
Great found. -- big smile. annoying in, the first fence. | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
is what happens when you have that big build up. You can only go one | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
way. He has not settled like he can. He did not have a very good round | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
yesterday. I think he was unsure of himself but he finished good, so... | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
Not to worry. He is still such an exciting horse. He has got | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
everything. Yesterday was probably the worst round he had in his life | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
:15:11. | :15:21. | ||
Meredith won a great night, remember, very clearly in 2003. | :15:21. | :15:30. | |
There was a big ceremony this year when that horse was retired. This | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
has been the second string but this horse is very capable of winning a | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
big competition. Mass of lead talented, Checkmate. He is 16 years | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
old. -- massively talented. He did not have to do the World Cup | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
yesterday so he should be fresh. Trying to make up the time and cut | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
:16:04. | :16:15. | ||
the course designers skills these days. It put the horse and rider | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
under that little bit of pressure and speed that makes the risk of | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
knocking offence that bit more. They cannot build than any bigger | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
or more technical than they are so this is a useful weapon because it | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
is more difficult when you have to cut the corners and keep moving. | :16:35. | :16:44. | |
One down. She is American-born but now rides for Germany. She is very, | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
very skilful. Just coming quickly down a corner, normally to jump a | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
big vertical light back you go right into the corner to give | :16:54. | :17:04. | |
:17:04. | :17:10. | ||
Maher and this man in the World Cup, believe me, everyone has been | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
talking about it here at Olympia. It was one of the best finishes to | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
the Rolex World Cup qualifier that we have seen here at Olympia. This | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
is the horse who has been one of his top horses for a number of | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
years now. It has won him so much. It has also caused a number of | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
disappointments. I remember at the World Games he had the wall down | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
which put him out of contention for any medals for Germany. There was | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
another one down. Then at the Europeans she let him down. But a | :17:47. | :17:57. | |
:17:57. | :17:58. | ||
very capable horse on its day. A 14-year-old mare. Not jumping the | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
best of rounds. Marcus having to work quite hard here. As we talk | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
about style and ability, Marcus is one of the best riders you can ever | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
watch but it this is not a great round here. He is not getting much | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
help from his mare. She is a bit unpredictable. Over the time as | :18:23. | :18:33. | |
:18:33. | :18:33. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds | :18:33. | :19:23. | |
blunter. He has been at the top of using in some of the other classes | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
:19:33. | :19:33. | ||
all week. You can understand why he is not jumping Triple X tonight. He | :19:33. | :19:43. | |
:19:43. | :19:53. | ||
will show jumping is about. You are up one day, fences the next. His | :19:53. | :20:03. | |
:20:03. | :20:18. | ||
round in the jump-off yesterday was do not fight happening too often. A | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
very deep thinker at the sport, really works at it and my word, he | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
is looking a tremendous prospect for the future of British show | :20:27. | :20:36. | |
jumping. Careful over the first two parts, just moved slightly to the | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
left. You see so often they lose a bit of hype and push into the air. | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
All of these riders and horses it is the end of a long week and it | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
shows. Only 11 out of 33 managed to jump the course clear. The riders | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
do not get a chance to walk the course. They have a good look at | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
the map and work out how many strides they have and when they get | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
in there it is a real test of nerve and speed, a distinct advantage to | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
those who were drawn late. It is a multinational field. We have two | :21:10. | :21:20. | |
:21:20. | :21:42. | ||
the draw -- the best of the draw. It is Britain's Peter Charles with | :21:42. | :21:52. | |
:21:52. | :21:57. | ||
clear. I would have thought he has got to go out and get clear that at | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
the best pace he possibly can. is an interesting jump off. It is a | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
long way round. There are some very big fences out there. Although | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
there are a lot of horses, I think they have to be mindful that they | :22:14. | :22:24. | |
:22:24. | :22:44. | ||
have to jump the jumps. This is a don't think there is much of an | :22:44. | :22:54. | |
:22:54. | :23:03. | ||
option. Write to the other side of backwards. This is back up the | :23:03. | :23:13. | |
:23:13. | :23:21. | ||
arena. He is really motoring. great try a, 39.21. He won it in | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
1993 with Impulse. Can he win it 18 years later? He has certainly given | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
himself a good go. One wonders whether there is a bit more speed | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
:23:40. | :23:49. | ||
in there yet. This is a really good That was quick enough. It will | :23:49. | :23:58. | |
still take a lot of beating. would agree with that. Now Rolf | :23:58. | :24:08. | |
:24:08. | :24:19. | ||
Goran Penston from Sweden on to number three. That was | :24:19. | :24:29. | |
:24:29. | :24:37. | ||
so Rolf Goran Benson will not be winning tonight. He has gone quick, | :24:37. | :24:47. | |
:24:47. | :24:56. | ||
definitely. He used as forcing the one early on and then people have | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
to think about tactics. There is only one tactic, you have to go | :25:00. | :25:10. | |
:25:10. | :25:21. | ||
the horses anticipate the turn across the fence and here he was a | :25:21. | :25:31. | |
:25:31. | :25:42. | ||
bit sloppy with his front legs Vleuten. He has been a super winner | :25:42. | :25:52. | |
:25:52. | :26:01. | ||
this autumn. He has come of age rounds on the circuit. He is well | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
placed in the European League so he is in good form. One of the few | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
places they might be able to beat Peter Charles' time is when they | :26:11. | :26:19. | |
have to go across the arena. A very hesitant jump there. They have to | :26:19. | :26:29. | |
:26:29. | :26:29. | ||
gallop flat-out across here. I am not sure he is quite quick enough. | :26:29. | :26:39. | |
:26:39. | :26:53. | ||
It is very close. He was fractionally quicker. The very last | :26:53. | :27:03. | |
:27:03. | :27:12. | ||
hesitation, all over the place. But Maikel Van der Vleuten keeping his | :27:12. | :27:22. | |
:27:22. | :27:48. | ||
cool. Just a bit of extra pace and very light and athletic across the | :27:48. | :27:55. | |
ground. It does turn well. We know this man has got form indoors. Week | :27:55. | :28:05. | |
:28:05. | :28:05. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds | :28:05. | :28:47. | |
flies the last but it is eight, two fences down. Eight faults in the | :28:47. | :28:57. | |
:28:57. | :29:04. | ||
Very disappointing. He would have really fancied his chances in that | :29:04. | :29:14. | |
:29:14. | :29:34. | ||
against the clock. Peter will not have an easy time trying to hold on | :29:34. | :29:41. | |
to his lead. Yesterday, he did take the long route in the jump-off. A | :29:41. | :29:46. | |
bit of a pick up going to the start. It is all right, he has still got | :29:46. | :29:56. | |
:29:56. | :29:56. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 49 seconds | :29:56. | :30:37. | |
takes the lead! They won it two years ago. Will it be their turn | :30:37. | :30:47. | |
:30:47. | :30:48. | ||
again? What a great effort from Dermott Lennon. Very tight. He kept | :30:48. | :30:58. | |
:30:58. | :31:02. | ||
there and that has taken a lot from Peter's time and we thought Peter | :31:02. | :31:10. | |
was pretty quick. Now Norbert Smith with the 10-year-old Ude. -- Robert | :31:10. | :31:20. | |
:31:20. | :31:28. | ||
round out of this walls. He was working quite hard in the first | :31:28. | :31:35. | |
round -- this horse. But he is not agile enough and unfortunately, | :31:35. | :31:40. | |
with two fences down, he would just have to try to nurse him home now. | :31:40. | :31:48. | |
Robert is not want to surrender and go for second place. He set off at | :31:48. | :31:58. | |
a good gallop. He has settled him down now. Very often you see with | :31:58. | :32:02. | |
these big numbers of horses, you don't get as many clear rounds as | :32:02. | :32:08. | |
you think, and the pressure is now on. Dermott Lennon and Peter | :32:08. | :32:17. | |
Charles, they are the two clear ats in that order. Two time at faults | :32:17. | :32:27. | |
:32:27. | :32:45. | ||
that face tell you? Absolutely. Hans-Dieter Dreher now. Embassy II | :32:45. | :32:49. | |
has really impressed this week. Looking pretty quick, too, I have | :32:50. | :32:59. | |
:33:00. | :33:10. | ||
air but he has to gallop. That was amazingly quick! He has gone | :33:10. | :33:16. | |
round... That has cost him, he should not have gone round there, I | :33:16. | :33:26. | |
:33:26. | :33:34. | ||
don't understand why he did that. enough. Beautiful jump over the | :33:34. | :33:41. | |
last. As you rightly say, possibly going around cost him 40.3. He goes | :33:41. | :33:48. | |
behind Peter Charles into third place, Hans-Dieter Dreher. Whether | :33:48. | :33:55. | |
he forgot or had a momentary lapse, he should have turned. It is a long | :33:55. | :34:00. | |
way around, even if you are moving at pace. That was a shame because | :34:00. | :34:10. | |
:34:10. | :34:10. | ||
it was a really quick round up until that point. Germany again now. | :34:10. | :34:20. | |
:34:20. | :34:27. | ||
Marcus. They won it three times on the trot, 2003, 2004. Can this man | :34:27. | :34:37. | |
:34:37. | :35:04. | ||
Only two has tried to get straight. been quick enough anyway. A good | :35:04. | :35:14. | |
:35:14. | :35:48. | ||
theatre over the years, and of course ever since Olympia started | :35:48. | :35:57. | |
40 years ago it has grown beyond all dreams. In comes the challenge | :35:57. | :36:06. | |
from France, Le Prestige St Lois de Hus. Is he going to finish with a | :36:06. | :36:16. | |
:36:16. | :36:22. | ||
Kevin has got to ignore all of his backing and keep concentrating on | :36:22. | :36:32. | |
:36:32. | :36:56. | ||
second, Hans-Dieter Dreher third. No. 8 for the Frenchman. He will | :36:56. | :37:03. | |
not fit it in the top final line-up. It is so difficult for Kevin to | :37:03. | :37:09. | |
control this course. Look at him. When he gets angry, the horse gets | :37:09. | :37:14. | |
really untidy in his jump. It is so frustrating when a horse has that | :37:14. | :37:21. | |
much talent. It must be awkward to sit on, too. Not pleasant at all. | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
We are getting into the meat of this. It is going Ireland's way at | :37:25. | :37:32. | |
the moment and still to come, Spain and Belgium. Could the 19-year-old | :37:32. | :37:40. | |
Manuel Anon and Rackel Chavannaise win this? Spain have never won it. | :37:40. | :37:50. | |
:37:50. | :37:57. | ||
They have not had any world famous young man. He has already been very | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
successful in the Youth Championships. This horse has got | :38:00. | :38:04. | |
the talent and this young man has got the youthful enthusiasm to keep | :38:04. | :38:14. | |
:38:14. | :38:17. | ||
having a go. I am sure he will turn last friends... He missed his | :38:17. | :38:24. | |
stride and got away with it! -- Last friends. He must be quick | :38:24. | :38:33. | |
enough? No? Not quite! What an effort! 19 years of age, that has | :38:33. | :38:40. | |
got to be one to watch, surely. Manuel Anon. Second behind Dermott | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
Lennon. Peter Charles drops to third. What a round. What an | :38:45. | :38:52. | |
effort! He took every chance in the book. What a great mare. She picked | :38:52. | :39:02. | |
:39:02. | :39:07. | ||
heart in his mouth there because that was close! Now it is Ludo | :39:07. | :39:17. | |
Philippaerts. He has won the World Cup qualifier that he hasn't won | :39:17. | :39:27. | |
:39:27. | :39:51. | ||
the Olympia Grand Prix. -- but he at the moment... It was just | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
getting untidy! He could not keep his shapes. This is a very fast | :39:56. | :40:06. | |
:40:06. | :40:09. | ||
round. Great effort. Shake of the head! Time was pretty good. But he | :40:09. | :40:17. | |
had one down. Dermott Lennon, first, second is Spain's 19-year-old and | :40:17. | :40:27. | |
:40:27. | :40:34. | ||
then Peter Charles. Germany is in the lower placings. Robert Smith | :40:34. | :40:39. | |
doing well to finish in 11th. Robert Whitaker with that one time | :40:39. | :40:48. | |
Congratulations. Was it a late decision to put her in the class? | :40:48. | :40:54. | |
It was a late decision to come here! Never mind the class! This | :40:54. | :41:00. | |
mare only started jumping in May. She had only done as a six-year-old | :41:00. | :41:07. | |
a 1.3 levels. She has been very competitive all year. It is just | :41:07. | :41:12. | |
the last few shows that we started to think bigger. And a real chance | :41:12. | :41:18. | |
for you to be back in the big time. It is really nice. I have a couple | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
of horses that can jump at this level now so it is great for. | :41:22. | :41:29. | |
you got a wonderful reception. There is as many Irish as British. | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
This show get a lot of television and everybody loves it so it is | :41:33. | :41:38. | |
great to be here and even better to win it. A fantastic way to sign off | :41:38. | :41:44. | |
the week. Well done. Thank you. Let's have a word with Peter | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
Charles. For a while you must have thought he would hang on. It is | :41:48. | :41:54. | |
difficult. You have to do something to make mistakes but not look a | :41:54. | :41:59. | |
clown. I am delighted. It is his first big Grand Prix and he was | :41:59. | :42:07. | |
class. I am very pleased. Well done, good stuff. The 2002 world champion | :42:07. | :42:17. | |
:42:17. | :42:18. | ||
