What’s that coming over the Hill...
By TMX Archives on 13th Apr 12
Its certainly early advantage Kristian Whatley and Neville Bradshaw in the race for the respective Pro MX1 and MX2 class titles following an all-action second round of the AMCA Wulfsport British Masters at Foxhill over the Easter weekend.
Once again Whatley blasted his PAR Honda to both MX1 wins, picking up another £1,000 cheque while Bradshaw, on his Evotech Stevens Honda, just edged out the flying local Swindon lad, James Dunn, to take MX2 honours.
Also hitting the headlines at the former GP circuit were both Matt Moffat (Putoline Two-stroke) and Jake Alsop (Michelin Masters MX1) as they blasted to impressive, unbeaten class wins.
There was early drama in the opening Battery Energy Drink supported Pro contest as one of the expected favourites, Stephen Sword was forced out on lap one with a puncture. Although Swordy did re-join the race following a quick wheel change, his chances were effectively over over as the immaculate Whatley stormed to victory.
The ride of the moto though belonged to young Dunn, who hung on to a brilliant second spot aboard his HM Plant KTM ahead of Bradshaw, Moffat, Scott Elderfield and Graeme Irwin.
Desperate to make amends, Sword was very quick out of the trap in moto two, leading the opening couple of laps before Whatley again took control. On lap seven, Bradshaw also overhauled Sword and that's the way it remained right to the flag. With another charge, Dunn moved from ninth up to fourth and was even rapidly reeling in Swordy as Josh Waterman, Irwin, Luke Hawkins, James Cotteral, Elderfield and Moffat held down top ten positions and were always in contention.
There was certainly no doubting the Foxhill star performer in the Putoline Two-stroke class as Matt Moffat blasted to a brilliant four moto wins. Showing its popularity, a superb entry of 33 riders took to the line in the two-smokers but no one could halt the storming Moffat! On day one, Joe Jones and Daniel Brough proved to be his closest challengers while in Sunday's racing, James Dunn was the runner-up on both occasions. Although Dunn may have been slightly unhappy with his Saturday performance, he did still take some consolation in gaining top slot in the Two-stroke MX2 overall class awards ahead of Sam Winterburn and Alex Davies.
The GSP Race Products MXY2 contest at Foxhill was dominated by a quartet of very determined racers as Liam Garland, Dan Thornhill, Jay Thomas and Joe Bamfield filled the top four places in every moto contested. Taking top slot was Kawasaki mounted Garland who won three races, his only defeat coming in moto two when Thornhill took glory. With the above lads in such irresistible form the next best in this group were Scott Aldridge and Rickie Roderick.
After bagging maximum points during round one at Mallory Park in the Moto Pro Suspension Mini Masters BW85cc contest, Jordan Moxey had to settle for third spot in the opening Foxhill moto as he chased Charlie Putman and Tyron Cleaver home. From here onwards though, Moxey was again to be the boss winning all three remaining clashes and also the overall verdict from Cleaver and Luke Craig.
