Double two for Facciotti
By TMX Archives on 10th Dec 09
CANADA's Colton Facciotti ran out the double winner of the second round of the Future West ACU British Supercross series, topping both the Pro SX1 and Pro SX2 classes, again staged at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre in conjunction of the International Motorcycle and Scooter Show. Meanwhile, David Goosen topped the podium in the British Open Final.A small but very vocal crowd witnessed great racing along with some thrills and spills in all classes on a fast, flowing yet demanding track.
With some entertaining qualifying races, the PRO SX1 final produced the best racing the class has seen at the NEC. Zach Osborne and Ashley Greedy won their respected heats but with Mike Brown, Ben Lamay, Colton Facciotti (pictured below) Ryan Blizzard Gordon Crockard, and David Goosen all looking super-fast around the newly developed track, the podium could go to any one of them.
As the gate dropped, Mike Brown grabbed the holeshot followed by his closest points rival, Colton Facciotti. Facciotti forced past Brown in the first rhythm section and gained a lead of between two and three bike-lengths. As aggressive as ever, Brown never gave up the fight and pushed Facciotti all the way while trying to fend off fellow American rider Lamay.
Crockard, Blizzard and Goosen put on a great show as they each battled for fourth spot. Lap after lap, the trio pushed each other toward the finish and after some block passes and bar banging, Blizzard emerged in fourth with Goosen fifth and Crockard sixth.
