Neale's a Milton master
By Mike Wood on 8th Jul 11
With the F1 entourage already moving into Silverstone in readiness for this weekends British Grand Prix, and at the same time imposing logistical restrictions on Ken Winstanley and the Wulfsport British Masters team as they attempted to prepare the motocross track for round five of the 2011 series, a big decision had to be made!
Should they stay on-site or, with just three-days to the event, look for a new venue to stage the Masters event?
The latter option was chosen and after considering several tracks, the ACU and Jim Parker came racing to the rescue with a generous offer of the nearby Milton Park circuit.
So it's a massive thank-you from Ken and the team to the ACU for ensuring the Wulfsport-supported event was not only on, but also a great success, with the cancelled Foxhill races also squeezed into the weekend and the entire programme completed by 5pm on Sunday evening!
Running right alongside the M1 motorway, keeping the threat of rising dust down to an absolute minimum is imperative at Milton Park, hence the need to extensively water the track.
This created wet, boggy patches, turning an already technical circuit into a maze of different racing lines.
The variation in conditions going from wet to dry areas also created some very interesting action and tested riders' abilities to the full.
However coping in style were both Paul Neale (DK Off-Road Kawasaki Masters MX2) and Jamie McCarthy (Michelin Masters MX1) bagging maximum points from their five moto weekend.
As expected, Neale was pushed all the way by the equally determined Gareth Padgett including a stunning last race.
Passing and re-passing, Neale edged in front and as Padgett then came back for more, the latter crashed heavily.
Quickly to his feet, Padgett was still able to remount in second spot, such was the pace of the top two.
With Neale taking top honours during round five, it means that he now trails Padgett by just two points in the series standings with Richard Gray currently holding third.
In the DK Off-Road Kawasaki MX1 class, Dale Brockhurst encountered an interesting last moto incident, going off the track and getting his front wheel stuck in a wooden pallet protecting a marshalling point!
Overall victor, Ryan Bruce, and Chris Neesam shared the MX1 moto wins, the latter leading the series.
After going through the Michelin Masters MX1 card unbeaten at Foxhill, Jamie McCarthy repeated the feat at Milton Park.
Jamie was perhaps a little fortunate in the final clash, when he found himself well downfield in the early stages only for the moto to be red-flagged!
In the re-run, McCarthy made no mistake to take yet another stylish win.
On each occasion, fast-starting Josh Scott followed him home, while Jamie Wilson claimed the final podium spot.
Despite finishing fifth overall, Darren Fowden maintained the Championship lead ahead of Tom Davies and Ben Thompson.
It's certainly interesting at the top of the Michelin Masters MX2 as just 22-points separate Jamie Thompstone and Jack Jones.
At Milton Park, Jones was on-fire and stormed to three moto wins with Thompstone the other race victor.
