Moelfre NPS was bright, sunny and flat out fast. With a good turnout of spectators coming down to enjoy the event at the most spectator friendly track in the UK. The track itself was super dusty and very loose in places but still blindingly quick, following almost the same route as previous years, with a few new features thrown in to keep things fresh.



From the start you flew down into some fast open corners over the rock drops and down and over the hip- jump before hitting the switchbacks and the long off camber section, where come race runs riders had to battle against a strong headwind, this led you down towards the finish where the cheering spectator’s watched as riders hit the step down and crossed the stream in the bottom section at speeds nearing 40 mph pushing their bikes suspension to the limit as they slammed into the compression shooting loose gravel and stones as tyres battled for grip, before getting on the gas for a short sprint to the finish.



Racing was incredibly close with many categories having only a few points of a second between the top finishers. The pressure was on for Jack Geoghegan who needed to podium here for his chance of a place on the British Junior team for the Worlds. Updated Selections will be announced later this week.



After some impressive seeding results by the team things where looking good for Sundays racing. When the dust settled team rider Joe Smith was 1st in Junior with an insanely fast run which placed him 7th fastest overall, Jack Geoghegan handled the pressure and rode to a well deserved 4th place on the podium, after racing with his ankle gaffer-taped up from an injury taken during Saturday’s practice. Co-factory rider Pete Robinson whipped it up for the crowds gathered around the last step-down flying down to take 17th in Youth.



Richard Thomas rode foot out and flat out taking 7th in the super competitive Expert category, only to be knocked down after a good spell in the hot seat. The Elite category really pushed this weekend riding close to the limit of what was possible on the track. Matt Simmonds continued his run of fantastic national results with a 5th place finish, Fergus Lamb pushed hard to take 19th. Well Done Guys!
