First and most important, Bradley had a crash at Derby badly damaging his elbow. A 2 hour operation followed and he is now back at home. Everyone in the RaceTeam wish Bradley a full recovery. Knowing him, he will be back very soon! Our thoughts also go to Bob and Jane who will have to cope with a restless son for a while!

The previous Cheddar blog noted that it has been a hectic start start to the season. Too right it has! We have welcomed a new rider Jordan Hatcher and then at Derby the Team was decimated by injuries, illness and non-appearances so that we only had 3 riders on the Sunday in National #4...but what a trio! In the photo you will see that they all carry #1 Plates. Top riders. Top Team.

Although ranked #1 by British Cycling in the 13-14 Girl category, Izzy has been given Special Dispensation to ride up 2 classes in the Championship class - the top Female category. In the 4 Nationals so far, she has made the Final and is currently lying 7th. Highlight has been Izzy and Shanaze side by side on the gates in Derby practice. Jenny is the youngest in 13-14 Girls but is up there with the 14 year olds. Wins will come very soon. Jordan is in the most competitive BMX class and he is always up there. It's a long season and he will be right up there at the end.

On the Friday before the Derby Nationals, Izzy was presented with a Sponsorship Award by SportsAid. This will enable Izzy to take part in the Euros in Norway in July. Her new Supercross was on display on the stage. Never raced - it was pristine! There were 150 invited guests and Izzy was one of only 2 sportgirls to receive an award.

The Team at Derby has grown to like the new racekit and 2010 raceparts - Renthal chain rings are popular! Bradley will be spectating at the next Nationals at Braintree and we hope to see Luke and Warren there. The Team may be small at the moment, but it is all quality!
