Afternoon.

Repeating the pattern of the week, the Main & Mini missed (£1,400 & £140 respectively) whilst everything else did just fine. Guarantees will likely be revised today to reflect current traffic levels, in effect a reversal of the increases made 5 or 6 weeks ago. Not ideal, but not a disaster either.

In sport, I've no idea how many cup finals I've watched lifetime, but I'm struggling to remember any that were as good as yesterday's Chelsea - Liverpool EFL Final. Despite the 0-0 score at 90 minutes it was thrilling end to end stuff from start to finish, & played in a decent spirit too. The penalty shoot-out was a belter, with 21 consecutive penalties buried in the back of the net before Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga, who came on with seconds of Extra Time remaining specifically to save penalties, sent his effort into orbit. Might just have been the worst penalty I've ever seen - see the photo below. He'd been giving the Liverpool penalty takers plenty of grief in an attempt to put them off. And as it happened, Mendy, who Tuchel took off to get Kepa on, was magnificent during the whole match, so there was a sense of poetic justice in it all. On an unrelated side note, if only England's national team could take penalties as efficiently as these Teams did. 21 in a row, & the keepers never got near any of them.

More good news, the 2022 Moto GP season starts this coming weekend, with Qatar the venue. The race takes place under floodlights so is quite a spectacle. All the teams will use the new holeshot technology, and as you see from the photo below this means that when it's engaged on the startline, the bikes sit really low to the tarmac. Pretty sexy, huh?
