Hi everyone. This weekend was a free weekend so I decided to enter the Masters at Hawkstone park but in the mx2 class. I borrowed one of my mates bike to ride just for a change.
Qualifying went really well and enjoyed the bike as i had only ridden it once in the week. At the end of the session I was 10th which was good pick on the gate.
Race one I got a good start and was up in the top 10 four corners into the race Matt Moffat fell off right in front of me and I had nowhere to go but straight into his bike and over the bars’ i got up and set off last with a bent lever and started picking the riders of quickly. I got inside the top 20 half way into the race and I could see the riders in front was starting to get tired so I put a big push in and managed to get through to 11th.
Race two I got an average start and unbelievably the same happened again but a different rider! I was fuming as I had to set off at the back again. I pushed at the start to pull up as much as I could and about 10 mins in i ended up behind Ashley Greedy. We had a good battle catching up through the field. I stayed right behind him but I just couldn’t pass him. Once again i ended up 11th at the flag which gave me 10th overall. Overall I was happy with the weekend as my riding was good I was just unlucky. It’s good to be in the top 10 as my sponsor Owen from Manchester Xtreme was there watching so it was all good. Ash #82
