Well done to all the Under 15's, keep up the hard work lads.

 

Special thanks to The Anglo Polish Agency for all the help this week and especially today with the help of the van and parts etc for George Piper. Not forgetting Vince Hurst for being mechanic today and Sam for doing the best he could to wind up George :rolleyes:

Brendon,

I thought you rode great at newport.The conditions were vicious and all the riders where hero's.What is good is that there were no casualties and all have experienced a track at the height of summer with no moisture in it and it can only be compared to a concrete surface aka super moto.The Premier leauge riders hated it and Tony Atkin who normally loves the track struggled.Even with Street'y as team manager it is surprising that they cannot prepare a track consistently to suit the home riders.

Heat 17 saw my Daniel make the gate and ride a protective line as he new Joe Had the potential to be faster than him.Fair play to Joe for not making a stupid move and trying to pass him as it was a very hard track to ride.Daniel has been in the boards at Newport before and not at a slow speed either!.However Daniel did run out wide in the last turn and Joe went inside to beat him by half a wheel!.

When you came under Daniel at Poole in the last turn he didn't have the experience to deal with the situation and he fell off.This is what its all about and gaining experience of Passing moves and riding defensively is a bonus at this age.Remember Daniel is only 12 and 2months old.

Daniel will be at Hull and Newcastle this week so may see you there.

Thanks for that Phil, I too agree that all these lads rode very well given the track

conditions Brendan is only just thirteen and has only been riding since last september and has not had the experience that many of the boys have had doing grastrack so his learning curve is nearly vertical as is mine on the mechanicing side of things. We will be at Hull so will see you on wednesday.

I think for any of the lads taking part it is very well done. I know my son reads all these comments and keeps asking why he can't do the same (he is nearly 12) but I don't think it would do my stress levels any good, especially after the fright he gave me on the Sittingbourne training track :blink: . I keep telling him to stick to the swimming, less stressful for dear old mum :D
