Great Vintage
By TMX Archives on 8th Apr 15
The Easter weekend launched the first round of the Vintage Bonanza series at the Castle of Comfort at East Harptree, near Bristol, on Sunday.
The event saw more than 200 riders cram in a full day's racing, over eight groups.
Rain earlier on in the week left conditions treacherous in places, with many riders getting caught out and coming to grief on the slippery adverse cambers.
Jon May, though, made it all look easy as he maintained a relentless pace throughout his three races.
Young Brad Wheeler kept him honest, pushing the leader throughout and keeping him in his sights.
It was not such a good day for 125 Evo runner-up Neil Carroll, though, who was riding with broken ribs sustained in a practice crash a few weeks ago.
Despite a brave effort he could only manage three third places, some way behind leader May.
