“I’m a little disappointed not to win but I gave it my best shot despite a major problem on lap one of the main race. I didn’t get a great start, Le Mans starts never really suit me, but I quickly made up the places I lost until about midway around the opening lap. Then I hit my exhaust on a rock. I had to stop and make repairs and that cost me about eight minutes. It was always going to be hard to win after that. At about the halfway mark I got up to second but Alfredo Gomez was too far in front. Overall, it’s been an enjoyable weekend’s racing, the organisers did a great job with everything for their first time.”

 

“I’ve really enjoyed this race. It’s been a really good event and so nice to race in front of my family and friends in a Hard Enduro. I wanted to give them a victory but finishing on the podium in third is still a very good result. Sunday’s main race was very nice. Technical and tough riding. I felt quite strong and held second position for the majority of the race only for Graham to pass me near the end. It was also great to get the win in Saturday’s race. I’m happy with how things have gone.”
