Three sisters Wigan 1-2/6/19
Was a good weekend with some very tricky conditions.
Saturday was a damp track all day with red flags in every session which resulted in not a lot of track time. But I have finally clicked with my bike and getting my gear changes sorted. I had some track side coaching about my lines and position on the the track which really helped and Iv closed the gap right up on my rival. Our lap times where under a second all day.
Sunday, race day.
It was pouring with rain first thing. We didn’t have enough time to get we tyres put on so dad sent me out on my cut slicks. I tip toed round in morning practice and even managed to put in a good time putting me fastest in my class by .5 of a second.
Qualifying,
I had a wet front on at this point but first time on a wet spent the whole time testing the grip which made me 5 seconds slower in my class and putting me at the back of the grid in 17th.
Race 1,
I got a bad start. Was at the back. Managed to pick off a couple of riders. The rain started come down and I started to catch the leader in my group but just wasn’t enough. Ended up with a second.
Race 2.
Dad spoke to me and what I should do at the start to not get caught up in the first corner bunch up. It worked a treat and got me in the fight. I had the best race Iv had yet on this bike and battled the whole race for the win in my class with us swapping places about 10 times. It ended coming down to the last corner on the last lap... she got better drive up the strait but I was faster in the last 3 corners. On the last corner I went to the outside to carry the speed to beat her to the line but as we where mid corner she started to drift out I had to pic pick the bike up and my front wheel clipped the gravel witch resulted in me going down. HARD. Been my worst crash yet but dad got me back up and even with the bike all bent up I finished to get another second and secure more points...
Massive thanks to my sponsors Andy at on all floors and Craig at 16 designs for the wicked stickers that he got made up for me and to my door in under a week 👌🏻
