there 100 percent, but we'll get
there eventually. The equipment
suits me a little bit better this
year and I'm enjoying my life
better.
"My team is definitely work-
ing hard. They're doing a great
job. We'll try and lift it better and
better and better at every Grand
Prix. If I feel something, I tell the
boys what we can do better. I
can be a hard boss sometimes,
but they learn from me every
day, which is nice."
Runner-up Woffinden was
pleased to leave Malilla with
a hatful of points after being
dogged by illness this week.
"I've felt pretty ill all week,"
Woffinden said. "I've had a cold
and I ate some bad chicken in
Poland last week, so I haven't
felt the best. So to come here
and ride like I have done, feeling
like that, is a great achievement
for me. I'm looking forward to the
next meeting. Everybody knows
how long the season is. I just
have to keep my head down and
keep focused."

VICTORY TT BIKE STOLEN —AND FOUND!
T
he electric Victory motorcycle Lee Johnston
used to secure third place in this year's Zero
TT on the Isle of Man was recently stolen from the
Brammo offices in Talent, Oregon. The one-off
machine, bearing Johnston's number three, had
just returned to the Brammo headquarters after
touring the country as part of the American Victory
Rally, when thieves allegedly broke in and stole
the machine on July 16.
A $1000 reward was put up by Victory for in-
formation leading to the reclaiming of the historic
race machine, yet it wasn't needed as the Talent
Police Department recovered the bike at 10:30
pm on Sunday, July 19.
The machine was missing the rear wheel and
had damaged bodywork, but for the most part was
in original condition, with two individuals taken into
custody. CN
(Left to right) Woffinden, Pedersen and Swedish wildcard Antonio
Lindback topped the podium in Sweden.
