Sun 5th Aug
This weekend Ash rode in his 1st ever Grandprix at Namur,
Belgium.
Free practice Ash was riding well and was in 25th place in
timing.
Pre Qualifying practice Ash qualified 32nd and was placed
in Race 2 Qualifier race.
Qualifying Race Ash was sitting in 12th place when he had
a major crash on one of the big down hills, He was only grazed
and bruised but the bike was bent about a bit so he had to
pull in.
Last chance qualifying time practice Ash was 14th but with
so many of the front runners in the last chance and even Carl
Nunn being 1st reserve it was a difficult one to get through.
Although disappointed he didn't qualify Ash enjoyed the experience
learning how it runs and watching the race and is looking
forward to the next time, to prove he can qualify with the
best riders. |
