Round two of MX Nationals re-scheduled
By Team TMX on 27th Apr 16
Round two of the Michelin MX Nationals has been re-scheduled and re-located after Landrake was cancelled due to the weather conditions. The second round will now take place at Pontrilas, HR2 0BG, on May 7/8. Riders who were entered into Landrake will automatically be transferred to Pontrilas.
The first round at Preston Docks seems like a distant memory now but it was action packed throughout the weekend. They had a full entry of riders and had an extremely successful weekend and they hope round two will be just as busy. Pontrilas is a great venue and very popular with young and old riders alike.
Buildbase Honda were dominant in the ProX Pro Class with Graeme Irwin taking the Red Plate into round 2 in the MX1 class and Martin Barr leading the MX2 Championship.
Graeme Irwin - "It was a really good weekend at Preston Docks for me and I'm really happy with the way I rode there. It is really good that the MX Nationals team managed to reschedule and relocate round 2 to Pontrilas and I am excited to go there with the red plate.
It's great for the MX Nationals that the third round of the Championship will be at Duns in Scotland, I think this is a really good option for them and looking forward to going there also."
Martin Barr - "It was a good start to the MX Nationals season for me at the opener at Preston Docks. I'm looking at some more good results at Pontrilas and eager to support the MX Nationals team again next weekend."
The youth classes also had a good showing of extremely fast, young, up and coming riders at round one and they are eager to get to race two at Landrake. In the Talon MXY2 class it is Mickey Ellis leading the series.
Mickey Ellis - "I thought Preston was a really good track, it was well prepped and I was happy to win the overall there. I am really excited about racing at Pontrials as it is a great circuit and it'll be good to get out and race again."
Leading the Gaerne Big Wheel 85 series is youngster Joel Rizzi - "It was really good racing at Preston Docks and I'm happy to be leading the series. It was good fun and I am looking forward to racing at Pontrilas."
