We were booked into the final round of the ACU MXGB Youth at Foxhill but as my brothers bike wasn’t ready we decided to make a late race entry at the final round of LGR Championship at Pendine Mx Track on Sunday. I had been side lined for 5 weeks with a shoulder injury which I sustained from a crash at the last round of the NORA92 Cup, so this was my first race meeting back
Practice went well, the track was to my liking and I felt fast and comfortable.
In the first race I didn’t get a good start. The Youth raced in with the A’s which I liked but I was up against 450’s on my 250f. I was having to push very hard on a jumpy fast track and as I pushed my way through the pack I got into 3rd on the fourth lap. On lap 6 I eventually took the lead and the chequered flag which I was very happy with.
Second race it rained making my googles almost unusable, from not a great start and a crash on the second lap I eventually finished 4th but 1st out of the youth but I did set the fastest lap by 2 seconds.
Final race of the day and another mediocre start and battling with another youth rider I just couldn’t get past. It was very frustrating race as I really wanted to battle with the 450’s at the front but I finished 5th in that race and 2nd in the youth.
I was very happy taking 1st overall in the youth especially after being off the bike for 5 weeks.
