Race Report: Rounds 8 & 9 Burnham

A red hot Burnham-On-Sea hosted rounds 8 & 9 of the British Cycling BMX Championships and once again our five riders pulled out all the stops and extended our Alans BMX/Shimano DXR points lead further. Saturday night also a Euro race for Junior Men, Women and Elite.

First off we have to mention our Junior Men ace Luke Tamblyn who was blazingly fast winning the Euro race, collecting double points and now leads the series by 55 points. (By the way, Luke is the first of our team to use the new DTH Maxxis tyre to great effect, now our entire team run them).

Charlotte Green had to compete against European Jr Female riders and finished a strong third, still securing 1st place though (and double) points along the way beating all her regular rivals and sits a close second in points.

Jack Clarke finished the weekend in 11-12 class with a 4th & a DNF and sits 5th in points with his two locals tracks up next in the series.

Bradley Minns had good results both days in his two classes against some tough Euro opposition and leads 13-15 Cruiser class points.

Kye Whyte was up against some Euro opposition in 12 & Under Cruiser but came away with two second places and as usual won both days on his 20".

Next event: British BMX Championships Peterborough 23/24th August.

Thanks again to Lisa & Lewis Clarke for taking our van to the event and Dave Deakin for his mechanic duties.
