RACE REPORT: MAIDEN BRITISH
CHAMPIONSHIP WIN FOR 272 Published with Permission Hey guys. I finally did it! After arriving on English shores in 2004, I finally took my first British championship win at Foxhills Motopark in Swindon on Sunday! They had slightly revamped the famous Foxhills circuit, cutting out a few of the loops at the top of the hills, nonetheless the track was immaculately prepared, and the sun was shining so we were set for a good weekends racing. There was also a few wildcards that had come from the GP series to mix things up a bit. In qualifying the track started off really wet. I got held up on my last flying lap, and ended the session in 9th. Enough to transfer into the super pole session. In super pole I tried carrying all the outside lines, but that seemed to be slower and ended that in 9th again. Race 1 I pulled a massive holeshot, and lead the race for the first 10 minutes, I was having a great race with Elliot banks Browne and Australian wild card Dean Ferris. I tightened up a bit in the middle and they got by me, but managed to stay close for 3rd. Race 2 I got another great start and moved into 2nd on lap one. I had a great battle with Bryan Mackenzie for the first half. I made a mistake going around a lapper and Steven Clarke got by, I stuck on the back of him and we both got passed Bryan with a few laps to go, and we duked it out for the win, it was a real intense race with Steven Lenoir moving into 3rd making it a 3 way battle for the win. I ended that one in 2nd. Race 3 and it was the super final race. The top 20 mx1 and top 20 mx2 race together for a 25min+2 lap race. Going into the race I was leading the mx2 class in points, and knew I had to beat Clarke and Lenoir to take the win. I got another decent start against the bigger bikes, and had a great race with Dean Ferris all moto. I ended the race 7th out right, and 2nd mx2 rider. It was enough for my first overall win. Not only did I win my first British championship race, but we also had our first kid at 4:14am on Saturday morning. Tatum Bradshaw is here! So all in all an amazing weekend. I want to give a massive thank you to everyone in my team, they have given me an amazing bike, and I love going racing every weekend. We have also moved up to joint 2nd in the British championship with 3 rounds left to run. Once again thanks to everyone for the support! I’m going to start doing a monthly catch up, instead of after
every race.
