Stu Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Went to watch my mate racing at cadwell yesterday (Sunday)He had already done two races on Saturday and got two 1st's which was a good start to the season Sunday came and he was on pole position on the grid but he always gets a really bad start so dropped straight to 5th! 1st lap comes over the mountain in 3rd place he was on one Red helmet In to the second lap he was in second and was catching the race leader what it went tits up! too fast in to the gooseneck the back end slid and as he corrected it the front washed out! resulting in one trashed bike and a big bang to the head! a bit of concussion which means he couldn't race for the rest of the day! pretty eventful day really! One of his mates was racing in the rookies too and got two 1st's on a bike that was made just out of bits and was only really testing it I can see this season been a fun one! Quote
