Ice Man Cometh
Stephen Watson faces his own race to be ready for the NW200. As the pic below shows, the NW200 presenter is struggling to be fit for next week's race fest. Too many miles at the Masters and too much cantering at the Cookstown 100 have left his legs in bad way.
Fallen arches, damaged achilles and now a dodgy knee, mean he's laid up at home trying to balance all the prep for the live preview TV programme along with his plans for the rest of race week, culminating in a full day of presenting from the grid come race day on Saturday 15 May.
However, he is undeterred : "I'll definitely be there, there is no way I'd miss the NW200. .....I don't know what shape I'll be in by the end of it, but I can't wait for it to start"
If anyone has any homemade remedies or suggestions for his creaking joints please post them here.
