Makes the decision to triple-stint him in such a fast race very questionable. Youlden didn't put a foot wrong.

Man absolutely, those photographers really ****ed me off.
Murph was great. Poor Dave looked absolutely shell shocked.

As a sufferer myself I really feel the pain and it is a serious issue that can affect you physically very badly.
