Look out for Cantlie's report on the new RC8 tomorrow

WELL, we’ve arrived at the hotel near the Ascari circuit for tomorrow’s test-ride. Only arrived at 11.30pm and it’s a 6.45am wake-up tomorrow, so a pretty busy day ahead.

Press briefing is tomorrow before we go to the track, but there’s nothing really to suggest we’re here for KTM’s most important roadbike launch EVER other than an RC8 parked rather apologetically in the hotel lobby.

Jeremy McWilliams is here with a film crew so I assume he will be putting some hot laps in on the RC8. I’ll try and stay out of his way! Will report in tomorrow when things start happening. Should be good.
