AMA SUPERMOTO CHAMPIONSHIP - ROUND 5, SOUTH BOSTON:
TIME QUALIFICATION - 4th
HEAT RACE - 1st
FINAL - DNF (18th) Flat tire................
COMMENTS:
It was a great track in South Boston with some really high speed sections. I
loved the track and my bike, team and I were on form for a top result. This
is how it all went.
In Qualification I put down the fourth fastest time and went to the second
heat race. I holeshoted the race and lead from start to finish it was the
best race of my season to date, second place was last weekend' winner Kurt
Nicoll KTM then Bagnis Hus, then Micky Dymond KTM.
We had a 5 hour delay before the final event, so it was going to be tuff to
get straight into it. Most of the top riders are riding both classes, the
track had changed a bit and in the dark things looked a little different. My
start off the light was great but I hit neutral and lost a lot of places. I
quickly passed into 5th and started to wind in Micky Dymond. Once I got to
him, I could not get by and lost my rhythm. We had some luck when Kunzel
crashed, this put us in the fight for 3rd - when on lap 16 I got a rear flat
tire.
Kurt Nicoll went on to win over Ben Carlson and Bagnis 3rd.
My next event is in Del Mar California this coming weekend.
Thank you to all of you for your support.
Kind Regards
