That guy is unreal. I thought that he was finished after his back surgery.

I don't know what class he won but the Pro class and Outright was won by Aussie Josh Strang who's won the first 3 rounds.

Good for Josh, his old man Vince is a tough moto guy still going strong. Wattsy is insane, really messed with the Yanks head.

One of the story I love is he went in a Grand National with a badly worn rear tyre and still was fastest . And many many others. Ya right, he mucked with their heads - broke all the rules about going fast - except for one, just dial it up, hang it our and do it. Did I mention talent and concentration. And determination .

"thus he spent most of Saturday night driving the 10 hours back home, with the race then a further one hour drive from there. The lack of sleep was not going to deny him the victory though."

Yeah, I wondered that, particularly when the TSM article says:

Former World Enduro and US GNCC Pro Champion Shane Watts scored a sensational Overall victory, riding his KTM 200XCW in the hotly contested morning race at Round 3 of the 2010 GNCC series, held in perfect conditions near Morganton, NC on March 21.

Looking at this:
http://www.racer-results.net/results/gncc/2010/class_list.asp?r=3

Watts won the morning (and is a "Sportsman"), Strang won the afternoon (as a "Pro") - and while they both did five laps, Strang would have only just finished in the top 30 of the morning race - so obviously the run different courses.

Also, I find it funny that Watts is doing the whole "thank your sponsor" thing, and generally not sounding like the old Shane Watts.
