After a terrible week of bad weather everybody was expecting to turn up to a washed out track. When arriving at the track it was in pretty good condition. The wind carried on blowing and by the time qualifying came on Sunday morning the track was looking good
Qualifying: the track was deeply rotavated and was really good except a few places where they were damp spots. I didn’t really get a good lap in but felt good on the bike and ended the session in 21st position.
Race 1: The track had some really good lines now developed. I got off to a good start and came round the first turn about 15th. During the first lap I made some silly choices and mistakes and dropped back to just outside the top 20. I took a couple of laps to get going but eventually a few laps in I started to get into a rhythm and began picking the riders off. I worked my way up into the points and unfortunately I made a small error going into a corner and the rider behind me committed on making the pass and ran over my foot. The pain was immense straight away and I was forced to pull out of the race.
After further inspection and seeing specialists I found out that I had a mild dislocation of the foot. I am now having Physio and hopefully should be back to ride in no 2-3 weeks
Today was a bad day for me again as no points was scored and I have dropped down to 20th in the championship. Although I have hurt my foot it could of been slot worse so hopefully it won’t set me back to much and I can have a good string finish to the year
