BYMX go that little bit Moor
By TMX Archives on 18th Jun 09
WITH nearly a month's break, the ACU Express Insurance BYMX series gets back on track, and visits the picturesque circuit at Dean Moor, in Cumbria, for the fourth round of the Championship. Located near Workington, on the west coast in Cumbria, this track has seen lots of British Championships take place at this venue, with breath taking scenery of the fells and mountains of the Lake District on one side, and the Scottish hills across the sea on the other.The track is peat and hard pack rolled into one, with fast straights, table tops, and drop offs, along with the tunnel jump, where riders will be able to style it, and show the spectators why they are the cream of the best youth riders in the country.
Getting down to the predictions for this meeting, Conrad Mewse in the Cobra 65 class heads the championship by a slender 39 points over Henry Williams, and both have shown a liking to hard pack tracks so its any ones guess who will take the wins in this class. Look out for little pocket rocket Sid Evans also, has he is on form.
Maximum man Ben Watson will be a favourite in the Par Homes Small-wheel 85's. But he is only ahead by 82 points to second place man Callan Cooper, with Tom Neal just 15 points behind. One man to watch at Dean Moor will be fourth place man Connor Clark, who as grown up racing this circuit and always goes well here.
Dangers Ryan Houghton will be out to continue his wins, as he heads the Express Insurance Big-wheel Class, but fighting behind him will be James Dunn, Sunny Thompson and Jake Millward. Two more to watch will be Nathan Watson and Luke Norris who are both on championship form at the moment.
In the Par Homes Youth Open class, Josh Waterman leads Jack Rowland who took a win away from Waterman at Little Silver, so there might be a fight on for Josh. Rumour has it that James Hutchinson might be back in action, so there will be more pressure on Waterman. Luke Hawkins will be on fire again, as will Daniel McCanney and Ewan McLaren, who will also be out to impress, so this should be one to watch.
Zac Stealey will want to extend his lead in the Clubman Adult class, but Peter Eccles and Darren Richardson along with a host of local wild cards might just upset the applecart.
Ryan Pottenger will also want to extend his lead in the Clubman Adult Expert class, and he also will have a few wild locals trying to beat.
