Hi everyone… this weekend was another free weekend for me so I decided again to do the 3rd round of the British Masters at Pontrilas. I decided to do this just to get practice racing.
Qualifying went well as the track was really slippery as a lot of water went down on the track. I ended up 19th which was good as there were a lot more good riders there than normal.
First race I got a ok start and was running in the top 20. I was riding good and battling through in a group. I managed to get up to 15th and got stuck behind Lloyd Vercueil for about 10 minutes. I was trying everything to pass him but just couldn’t get by him. With 2 laps to go I put a big push into pass him and on one of the rutted out corners at the top of the track I unfortunately caught my foot on a rut and twisted my knee. The pain was there straight away and there was no way I could have done another lap so I had to pull off. I took my braces off and my knee had swollen and was still hurting so I didn’t make it out in the second race which was a bummer. I was gutted about hurting my knee as I was riding good and felt strong. I’m going to get it rested this week and take it easy ready for rd 3 of the British four stroke in 2 weeks time. Ash #82
