Hi everyone.. This weekend was the second round of the Maxxis British championship at Langrish. When we arrived at the track it was very dry and looked baked as if they hadn’t had rain for a long time. By the time Sunday morning came the organisers managed to get some water down. Qualifying was a bit of a struggle as the track was very, very fast. I managed to qualify 35th which wasn’t great but after the first lap of riding the track I knew it was going to be a struggle as I didn’t like the track at all. It was fast rock hard and very dry.
First race I didn’t get the best of starts and was buried at the back of the pack not being able to see nothing because of the dust. i didn’t ride very well and didn’t feel comfy on the track as I couldn’t get going. I ended up finishing 27th which wasn’t a great result.
Race two was the same situation but the dust was three times as bad. i rode a bit better and got into a bit more of a flow but I still didn’t feel confident to really push myself as I really didn’t like the track. By the end of the race i finished 25th. i am glad this weekend is over injury free and I can look forward to the next round at Brampton where hopefully I can grab some points again. Ash #82
