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
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.
