A double header here for all you racing fans this week, last weekend saw the second round of the Pearce Cycles summer series at Hopton. A muddy course made things interesting but racing was still flat out. An even muddier finishing field was a challenge for everyone both in the morning and on leaving. Who else needed tractor assistance?
Sliding down through the greasy corners into the finish Rich Thomas put in a great run to take 2nd, new ancillotti signing Tom Deacon took 5th in Elite in his first race on the new bike. Pete Robinson rode well earning himself a well deserved 6th place in the Youth category, with Paul Kemp taking 12th in Veterans.
This weekend was the opening NPS of 2008 at AE Forest on a track with a good mix of new and old sections which kept riders interested. Weather over the weekend made this another wet race spikes being the tyre of choice especially on the new sections towards the top of the course. Find your line and fight for grip!
Come race time Tom Deacon came 13th in the super competitive Elite category; Rich Thomas found the conditions a challenge with a few slips which saw him ride to 42nd in Expert. Pete Robinson was flying in his race run but a mistake in the last few corners before the finish saw him of the bike and into 24th place.
Jack Geoghegan looked quick and rode well to take 10th in Junior, Ali Wilson came in 11th just fractions of a second behind Jack. Paul Kemp put in a strong run for 15th in Veteran. Well Done Guys!
