A testing weekend in Scotland for Ben Mustoe and ASA United GASGAS at Round 7 of the British Motocross Championship, with Ben showing front-running pace throughout the day aboard his GASGAS MC 250F.
Qualifying got the weekend off to a positive start, with Ben securing 4th gate pick, his best qualifying result of the season and putting himself in a strong position heading into the motos.
In Race One, Ben had a great jump from out of the gate and quickly established himself inside the top five, battling at the sharp end of the field. With the leading group remaining closely matched for much of the race, Ben worked his way into 4th and began setting his sights on Tommy Searle in 3rd.
Unfortunately, a small crash late in the moto cost him several positions, leaving Ben to regroup and bring it home in 7th place.
Race Two, another strong start put Ben right back amongst the front runners in race two. After positions chopped and changed during the opening laps, he settled into 4th and spent much of the moto chasing down the leading group, with very little separating the pace of the riders at the front.
Ben continued to push right through to the closing stages, making a late move on Charlie Heyman to take 3rd place at the chequered flag and round out the weekend with another strong performance.
The 7-3 scorecard gave Ben 5th overall, narrowly missing out on an overall podium after the small mistake in race one.
Plenty of positives to take from Duns, with a season-best qualifying performance and the speed to fight at the front in both motos.
We now turn our attention to the final round of the British Motocross Championship at Blaxhall in September. As a local round for the team, we’re looking forward to welcoming plenty of friends, family and sponsors trackside to close out the season.
Thank you, as always, to everyone for the continued support.
