🏁 HOME FROM THE MANX GP 🏁
Back home from what has probably been one of the best weeks of my life racing at the Manx GP. 🇮🇲
I went over with one main goal — to lap under 20 minutes. I’m absolutely over the moon to have beaten that target by 13 seconds, lapping at an average of 114.4mph. That’s a lot faster than I ever thought I’d be capable of before I headed out for my first laps around the TT course.
I was also pleasantly surprised to see the bike was 7th fastest through the speed trap for most of the week, all from a standard engine. A huge credit to the preparation and work that has gone into the bike.
In the Supersport race, I finished 32nd, which I was honestly quite disappointed with, but ultimately I was glad to bring it home safely.
In the Senior race, I finished 24th, which I was much happier with and feels like a great way to finish my first Manx GP.
One of the biggest highlights of the week came at the end when I was awarded Best Prepared Bike, as voted for by the technical team. That feels like a massive achievement, especially because I prep and maintain the bike myself on a limited budget. 🏆
None of this would have been possible without the incredible amount of help from my family and friends. From helping me get the bike and everything else ready, lending me equipment to make life easier while I was over there, to the people who took 10 days off work to come over, run around after me and keep everything moving during the races and pit stops.
I genuinely can’t thank everyone involved enough. ❤️
To finally race around the TT course, achieve a 114.4mph lap, finish both races and come away with Best Prepared Bike is something I’ll never forget.
Raffle will be drawn this weekend thank you to everyone who entered
