Update on Ben:

Posted: Tue 08 Apr 2003

An update - From Vicki Townley:

Since his return form Spain Ben\'s training has continued, he is working hard on his race duration. It has been several months since he has actually raced a solid 30 minutes plus. Working on riding fitness in conjunction with his liver injury requires some dedicated hours of training. He still fatigues easily, but his recovery time is improving and he feels better each time he rides.

Ben rode at an International race in BELGIUM: on Sunday. Generally he was pleased with his racing speed, however he took a reasonable tumble in the second moto. He was winded initially in this fall but did not sustain any other damage to his body and was able to ride the final race.

He is now preparing for the GP of Holland, Valkensvaard, this coming weekend. Qualifying races are run Saturday afternoon, the Final is the first race on Sunday\'s program.

This is how we watch Ben & Josh as they race. It\'s the next best thing to being there !!!
Yours in MX
