Hi everyone… This weekend was the rd 5 of British maxxis championship at lyng.
Qualifying went well and I got a good time in early and managed 29th.
Race one I got an ok start and was running 20th and felt comfortable battling until the race got red flagged on lap 3. The restart wasn’t too good for me and I was more towards the back of the pack. About 5 laps into the race I got tangled up with another rider and fell off. As a result of the crash I snapped my front brake hydraulic cable leaving me with no front brake causing me to pull off.
Race Two I was really looking to get some points as I was gutted with the way race one went. Once again I got an average start and about 10 mins into the race I had a good rhythm and was running 17th. I held it for most of the race until 4 laps from the end I made a stupid little mistake on a corner and fell off. By the time I got going again I had dropped to 20th. I was gutted but I managed to bring it home in 20th to get a point so it wasn’t too bad. Overall it was an up and down weekend but I’m glad to have scored a point ASH #82
