Ando'll that jazz!
By Mike Wood on 2nd May 11
Just a week after winning the Maxxis British Championship round at Lyng, Brad Anderson continued his recent run of superb form by taking both Pro MX1 race wins during the latest Wulfsport British Masters action at Pontrilas over the Easter weekend.
In Pro MX2, Matthew Moffat and Bryan MacKenzie finished level on 97-points apiece at the top of the scorecharts, the verdict going to Moffat, courtesy of his moto two victory. This was a great effort by ëBry Mac', as after competing in his native Scotland on Saturday, he then made a long dash south to race at Pontrilas. That's total commitment!
Just for good measure MacKenzie also ëdouble' entered the Pro MX1 and MX2 classes. His opening ride of the day in MX1 did not start too well though. Down in 23rd position in the early stages, Bryan had to work very hard to get back to sixth.
At the front, Alex Snow had grabbed the holeshot to lead the opening lap before Brad Anderson flew past him on lap two. From here onwards, Brad controlled proceedings, although a gallant Snow was always hot on his heels and finished just four-seconds in arrears.
Such was the pace of the top two that Ross Hill was left to earn a rather distant third ahead of Stuart Edmonds and Dorran Coutts.
There was a rather disastrous start for the AMCA riders in Pro MX1 moto two as Lee Dunham, Glen Phillips and Brad Turner all fell on what proved to be a tricky redesigned opening turn.
Once again 'Ando' was quickly in control at the front, blasting to a comfortable win from Snow, Coutts, Hill, MacKenzie and Jim Davies. Of the early fallers, both Dunham and Phillips were forced to retire, although Turner did go on to finish 14th overall, one place behind Joe Barry.
James Dodd led the charge to turn one of the opening Pro MX2 clash as both Connor Wakely and top AMCA rider, Jack Taylor, bit the dust. From there onwards though and leading this contest all the way to the flag was Bryan MacKenzie with Matthew Moffat in tow.
Just behind the top two, a very entertaining tussle for third spot developed, which featured Dodd, Josh Waterman, Stuart Edmonds and New Zealander John Phillips. Eventually that four became two as 2T pilots Waterman and Edmonds locked horns with the verdict went to Irishman Edmonds. After their earlier problems, Taylor blasted back to earn a great ninth while Wakely was 17th.
Buoyed by that comeback, Taylor then claimed the holeshot in Pro MX2 moto two although after a problematic opening lap he had slipped back to 15th, eventually retiring.
Moffat took control at the front, as Wakely this time started strongly and was holding second - only to again crash and drop back to eighth.
Following Wakely's fall, Waterman took up the chase of a rapid Moffat, although all eyes were now firmly focussed on a hard-charging MacKenzie.
Gating seventh, Bryan moved through to eventually reel in Moffat, missing out on snatching victory by just two-seconds.
