VOL. 53 ISSUE 27 JULY 12, 2016 P49 really thought about. "To come to Cardiff and have a win is unbelievable. I have always wanted to win here, so it's ideal. I was third here before in 2012, so today I've stepped up a bit." Lindback was quick to pay tribute to runner-up Woffinden after a good, clean fight for the top spot. "For me, it's great if I can beat Tai. He's so fast and I just love to race with him," Lindback stated. "I love racing him on the track and I like him outside the track. It was good fun. Although the racing was tense, Lindback maintains he and Woffinden kept it clean. "I don't feel you need to run into people. Me and Tai raced hard but we didn't hit each other. It was still nice for the crowd to look at. I like racing with him. You feel safe, but you can also race hard." Woffinden admits picking the wrong engine early in the meet- ing hampered his chances. But he was elated with second place and a thunderous ovation from the Cardiff crowd. "I changed bikes and when I jumped on it, it was pulling, so thanks to Johnsy (engine tuner Peter Johns) for building me such a fast motor," said Woffin- den. "I wish I'd raced it earlier. It's the one I have been riding in Po- land and scoring massive points on, so maybe I need to start riding it in the GP. I always tend to go for a different one. "It was a good night and the fans here were amazing, as they always are. It blows my mind when I come here. I can't explain how it feels to be a Brit- ish rider and ride in front of that many people shouting for me. It's crazy." John Hipkiss 1. Antonio Lindback 18 2. Tai Woffinden 15 3.
