He was flying and and gate 3 wasn't a good spot to start from, but he's got a big set of gonads. He got a standing ovation from the crowd after that heat.
Earlier, my young bloke and two nephews stood in line to get an Aussie flag signed but the signing only went for 15 mins and they missed out. We were at the pit wall a bit later and my nephew Mitch called out to Darcy. He came over and Mitch asked him if he would sign the flag. We didn't even have a pen, but he got one and signed the flag and my brother's cap. Unassuming and a good guy - had us all barracking for him the rest of the day.
BTW, Tai Wiffenden is another one to watch - he was quick as well.
