Well done bud
This weekend, we travelled to Cardiff BMX Racing Club for their much-anticipated Regional Race.
The track is big, challenging, and boasts an excellent setup. The Cardiff team and all the volunteers did a fantastic job, proving they are more than capable of hosting a National race, no matter what the day throws their way. Great work, everyone!
Bristol Jets took 19 riders to the event, and there were some fantastic battles throughout the day. We finished with an impressive eight podium positions and enjoyed watching our coaches demonstrate their racing skills on track.
Sophie was racing out of the 8-metre hill with the Elite Women and finishing 2nd to receive some prize money, while Tom showed his grit and determination as he battled around the track alongside fellow clubmates Adam, Matt, and Lee Wilson. We were also delighted to have Adrian join us trackside with Oscar and Hannah.
The Bristol Beady Eye Rider of the Day was a difficult choice, as there were so many outstanding performances.
However, one rider stood out for giving absolutely everything.
Mac Findlay looked fast, smooth, and determined to secure a strong result. Mac has developed into a seasoned competitor on both the National and Regional circuits and can more than hold his own in a large and highly competitive category. In his final, he recorded both his fastest hill time and fastest lap time of the day, finishing in an excellent 2nd place.
Congratulations, Mac! We look forward to watching you battle it out at the Nationals.
A huge thank you to Sophie Ellwood, Ade, and Tom at The Racecraft Alliance for sponsoring our Rider of the Day award.
