The preparations look a litte bit messy ^^
Was expecting a clean garage from an engineer, but I know that style of reparing. When I smashed my bike once at the racetrack I took half of the whole parking for my bike to repair everything for the upcoming race xD

Physical condition is extremly important, expecially stamina and forarms. Every year after the winter when I ride the bike on the track again I realize it again and again... but I really hate stamina training

And still the 5th place, you seem to be a good driver ;-)
