From The Riders
I think my races went well getting a few good start and good few laps pulling away from 3rd in races 1 and 3 so then I had a few easy 2nds. I think race 2 and 4 could of gone better but I knew if I just got 3rd then I would of brought home a 2nd overall which I was mega happy about! can’t wait for round 2 at whitby!! Going into Whitby I’m going to be training very hard with my coach Alex Snow and trying to work on some different thing during these 2 weeks until Whitby. Can’t wait for round 2 - Hollie Roberts
I have never raced at Whitby before so I’m looking forward to racing a new track. After a disastrous first round at Culham I am staying positive going in to Whitby and hoping I can gain as many points back as I can. - Alfie Geddes Green
Racing was mixed for me over the weekend, the goal was to get the overall and as many points as possible. I was riding well to the conditions of the track, unfortunately the track bit back at me a couple of times with my front end washing out on me when I was in the lead both times. The second time I was not so lucky and was left with a gnarly cut on my forearm which had to be glued and stitched. It was nice to get two wins of four from what could have been four wins from four. For the next round the most important thing for me is to get my arm healed up properly, I know I have the speed and can push harder at Whitby and hopefully track conditions will allow me to showcase this. - Elaine MacEachern
I’m feeling good ,I was pumped to get my first big wheel national win ! Im really looking forward to Whitby and will try and get my first Revo podium on the BW85 Charlie Richmond
