Le Mans 24 Hours, Le Mans, France

Whatever the reverse of altitude sickness is, (the Bends?) then these three musketeers must have had it bad on the podium at this year's Les Vingt Quatre Heures du Mans. TK, in particular, is more accustomed to the dizzy heights of the top spot having graced that exclusive piece of turf an incredible EIGHT times. So third place was something of a come down. How else do you explain why he would spend his time pointing out an old photographer in the pen that the ACO generously provide for our protection against the rampaging hoards. Nishy has his usual sneer………Dindo is very happy………….they will be back on top next year. I'll still be in the pen……………
