Team Report: Hartlepool

The BCF series moved to Hartlepool in the North East for Round 7 of the National BMX Series - and what an outstanding day our Alansbmx/Shimano DXR team had.

Starting out with our 9 year old, Kye Whyte. Kye asked us if he could race 12 & Under Cruiser - and his Supecross iS frame arrived Friday before the race, Alex our shop mechanic put it together and it was delivered to the event Saturday morning - but as he'd never rode that class before he wasn't going to race it, but after his mum couldn't get him off it they decided to give it a go. He won every race on it, check out his inside moves in the video of his final, it's not easy give up three years against 12 year olds. To back it up Kye won his 20" class as well. Way to go Kye!


Next up was Jack Clarke, Jack like Bradley is the younger age in a double age group (11-12) but rode another consistent solid race for the last podium spot.


Bradley Minns, backed up a second in Cruiser with his best place of the year in his 20" - 3rd, again no mean feat as 13-14 is a stacked class, in fact only 2 of the younger riders made the final. Well done Brad.


Charlotte Green made the huge trek up from Cornwall, but made it worthwhile comfortably winning Junior Female, and seems to have fully recovered from her broken tibia sustained only back in April.


Luke Tamblyn, our Junior Male hotshot, well what can you say, just watch the video. He gets in front on the first straight then just pulls away - this is no easy class either, full of 2012 hopefuls, his year is coming together great and we are stoked for him.

Four wins - the maximum you can score with a team and we did it with just five riders. At the end of the day we extended our points lead over second place to 35.5 points. Well done everyone!

Extra thanks go to Jack's parents Lewis & Lisa for taking the van up this weekend. Kye's mum Tracy also asked me to pass her thanks to Jac's mum and dad for the help they give on Sunday with the Peckham gazebo's, and to Charlotte's dad for the side plate for his cruiser.

Chesterfield Report

With our Elite star Warren Bancroft out after his knee surgery we were down to just five riders as the BC National BMX series moved to Chesterfield for Round 6. This didn't stop us moving ahead on the Team Points race though!

Kye Whyte waxed 'em in 9's again and looked smooth as always. We are building a Cruiser for him which hopefully will be ready for Hartlepool.

Jack Clarke back from his wrist injury, looked good all day and picked up 3rd in 11's.

Bradley Minns made the main in the tough 13-14 group and won his Cruiser class again.

Charlotte Green, after a broken tibia at Cheddar, won Junior Female for the second time this year, taking it all in her stride.

After back to back wins at Mansfield, Luke Tamblyn couldnt quite get into the lead into the first turn and hadto make do with a solid second, he still leads the points though.

Well done everyone.

Alan
