Qualifying mx2: the track was really flat and fast after the grading overnight… I felt good on the bike and was enjoying the track and finished the session in 10th which wasn’t a too bad pick on the gate.
Qualifying mx1: this was straight after mx2 and there was few lines starting to develop. The 250 two stroke felt sweet and I managed to get a good lap in finishing 7th.
Race1 mx2: the track was starting to get rough and dry. I got a bad start and got caught up in a pile up half way round the first lap. I couldn’t start my bike and by the time I finally got it going I was nearly a lap down. Being on my own it wasn’t the best race to be in as I was on my own just riding round. I kept tugging and putting some good lap times in to eventually finish 14th
Race mx1: mid pack start and by this time the track was very dusty. Especially going up the hill as we were the only group going up there the sun had just baked it. I didn’t ride to well the first few laps as I was a bit unsure of the dust. After 10 mins i put the hammer down and started to pass some people and move up to 8th by the end of the race
Race 2 mx2: the track now was really dry and rough the whole way round. Again I suffered with not a great start and couldn’t see too well on the first few laps as the dust was bad. Again I didn’t ride very well the first few laps and even lost a few places making it even more hard work for myself. Towards the middle of the race I began to find my rhythm and start to move forward. I managed to get up into 8th and at the finish was only 2 seconds behind 5th.
Race 2 mx1: this was late in the day and the track wasn’t very pretty. The organisers decided it was too dusty to send us up the hill and sent us up the cut off. Another mid pack start didn’t make it any easier for me. I plugged away all race and managed to keep a good pace the whole way through getting up to 7th at the finish.
Overall mx2: 10th
Overall mx1: 6th
Overall today has been pretty good… I would have liked to get better results in mx2 but luck wasn’t on my side. I’m glad to be away in one piece and look forward to the maxxis next weekend at Dunns.
