Round 2 of the NPS is in Ticknock and hosted mt MAD on SAT 10th May
Again this promises to be another good home race and you all know the trails up there. MAD have taken the difficult decision to move it to a Sat to avoid clashing with the finishing stage of the Giro in Dublin. This may affect numbers from the north as the Giro is up there in the sat. So please support our buddies in MAD

Sure im not fit....even jacko would have beaten me last week :'(
Oh did you also notice jacko dropped to s4..? :-X
-

Look at ya trying to take the heat of yourself by bringing Ian into this, we'll get to Ian later ;D
Fitness is not an excuse at our level, its all about getting in front and holding everyone else up :D or staying close enough to someone until they crack under the pressure and make a mistake.
Are you going to make a season of racing in S4?
I'm emailing the Commission to complain about your bangerism.
-
Haha leave me alone, im a Vet after all :D
Sure im working for the rest of the season, i think i can do the last race
-
Ok lads let me try to make sense of this.
our fearless leader is sand bagging again by doing s4 ( for wimps and full on goobers ) :)
Shame on you. Lead don't follow. >:(
Still time to upgrade to proper xc racing and go s3 atleast

Paul who are you trying to convince your an S4 rider? did you get permission from the OC to downgrade you race status?
Shame on you
Your getting major goober points for losing an S4 race, If you dont get a top three this week I reckon your top of the list ;D
-
Come back Paul C....all is forgiven.!! :-*

Ah it's ok Paul. Nice for someone else to take the abuse for a change ;-)

Great racing from the gang today folks well done all, I had a disaster of a race. Starting with a puncture on the practice lap and quickly going downhill there after, I had to call it a day when my cleat finally gave up.
Ben Thompson also had a fall early today and warranted a trip to the hospital, unfortunate as he was going well. Get well soon Ben
Tough course but great setup again from the folks at MAD,
-
Yea Davey exactly..... super course but tough.. so tough... I'm pissed now after two bottles of beer (really quite sad)

Hard natural course all right especially with the rain. Punctured on the third lap just when I was about to attack :)
-
Good race and course, the winter club Tuesday night spins were good prep! Good race - myself, Scot and another lad were switching places throughout but Scot had the legs and roar :) on me for the sprint finish!

That was a tough but good race. Challenging climbing and plenty of twisty techie trail. There were a couple of booby traps waiting for a lapse in concentration too. Overall the race went well for me but I found it difficult to pass people on the single track with two riders falling in front of me at various times. Despite the occasional showers I found the course held up well until the last lap - from then on the racing ralph tyres which came with the bike were deciding what lines to take!
Thanks to the folks at MAD and thanks to Adam for swapping his podium spot for tech zone duties.
Get well soon Ben!

Well done to the MAD crew for a great race yesterday.. Plenty of work done on the course which was quite challenging.! A good bit shorter lap lap than Rd1 but felt much tougher.! I felt battered afterwards.
Alot of work done on the course which mostly held up with the weather. They were unlucky with the rain, but sure you cant control that.! Great marshalls too.! I dont think ive ever heard my name called so much in a race for support or slagging ;D
Personally i was aiming for a top 10 as 3 rock races have never suited me. Ben took off from the start like a rocket and i followed trying to keep up, while thinking slow the fook down.! Got into the single track 2nd behind ben but by the time i hit the tar climb i was in trouble and falling back. Chopper and jacko passed me and a few others. Then in the shizzle i was really suffering with a pain in the chest as i must have blew up... came across Ben on the deck with chopper atending him, so i stopped too and helped till the marshal came along. Lost a few more places till we got going again. By the time i hit the last km on the first lap i had recovered from the pain and could push again. Caught chopper on the fireroad and then on the 2nd lasp i caught jacko on the tar climb and a few others.... Jacko i gave you a one lap head start, whats the story :-*
Finished 8th so happy enough..! Enjoyed the 2nd lap, not the first.!
Ben has a light fracture of the wrist but hes young and heals quickly, so hopefully he'll be back in action soon.

Any results? Post a link.
Wishing Ben a Speedy Recovery.
