The team took to Wales for the final round of the Revo ACU British Motocross Championship at Monster Mountain
After a hectic year of racing the lads wanted to end on a high and to get home in one piece.
Qualifying set to with Tom going P7 in the MX1. MX2 see Alfie finish in P17, Ben P21 and Glenn P18.
Moto 1 of the MX1 saw the heavens open. The heavy downpour of rain made things extremely difficult for the entire race. Tom made his way to P9 but with no goggles and very limited visibility, he couldnβt climb any further in the race and crossed the line in P9.
Moto 1 of the MX2 thankfully saw the rain stop however, it left a very soaked track for their first moto. Alfie had a great start but went down on the first lap due to the slippery track conditions. He managed to remount and get himself back in the race to finish P11.
Glenn is very much at home in the wet conditions and put in a great moto to finish in P8. Ben, is still suffering the effects of an ongoing virus. He pushed through the race and conditions with a few unfortunate offs finishing in P19.
Moto 2 for the MX1 the track seemed to have got itself into better shape than the first moto. Tom put in a stellar performance which saw him right up front for 25+2 moto. The efforts paid off with Tom passing the chequered flag in P5.
MX2 final moto and the last race of the day. Alfie didnβt catch such a good start as he did in Moto 1 and with an unfortunate crash Alfie had to retire from the race due to tweaking an already injured knee. Ben set out to have a better moto and this showed as the race went on. He and Glenn produced some great battles until a small mistake caused Ben to have an off which resulted in him ending the moto in P18. On to Glenn who again settled in and showed his strengths each lap giving him a P14 finish.
A weekend of ups and downs, but another championship wrapped up.
