Great result in Avenir
By TMX Archives on 21st Oct 10
Team Great Britain had a fantastic weekend at the 39th Coupe d le' Avenir at Angreau in Belgum. Fantastic organisation, fantastic track and great weather.
The riders in the 85cc class started things off. Connor Clarke had a fantastic fourth place, Liam Knight took 14th and Micky Eccles got a puncture and finished 27th. In race two all three brits fought hard. The track was rough and gnarley for the small bikes but the lads got stuck in. Connor claimed ninth, Micky 12th and Liam 16th. This resulted in the 85 team getting third overall a fantastic result and a podium.
The 2010 Coupe d le' Avennir races started off with Bradley Ward Mx2 and Bryn Clark Mx Opeh. Both lads balttled hard and it was tough racing with Europes best youngsters. The races were furious all the way through and Bradley ended with a 22nd and Bryn 23rd. Race two saw Jack Rowlands in the Mx Open and Bryn back on the grid, both lads got a midpack start and were mixing things up well until Bryn had a crash on lap three which put him at the back. At the flag Jack ended up 19th and Bryn clawed his way back up to 22nd.
Race three saw possibly on of the roughest tracks any of the lads had seen, with no track prep inbetween. Jack made a great start and was running 11th, although Bradley found things a little tougher at just 14 years old. Both riders stuck to it and after the 30 minute plus two laps the boys were pleased to see the chequerd flag. Jack had another 19th and Bradley a 26th.
The team would like to thank Fox Europe for the team shirts, Jason at Teebee motorcycles for his support, and Jim at Motoshack for the backgrounds and shirt printing.
