⏱️Practice
Really good to be back at Teesside. Couldn’t wait to get on my @freetechendurance bike for a blast. Enjoyed practice, worked on my lines & how to tackle a bumpy track but was better on this bigger bike compared to my MiniGP.

⏱️ Qualifying
Was confident I could put on the front row
& did a PB despite only having 4 laps for qualifying & took pole with 1:17.6

🏁 Race 1
Myself Arnie & Laken got off to a good start, going 3 wide down the hill. Arnie took the lead & I was on him for the whole race, 3 laps to go & we got a few back markers to content with & both myself & Arnie got held up on the corkscrew & Arnie got away from me. Chasing him down on the the final lap I put in a PB & new lap record 1:16.929. Brilliant race, loved every minute. 🥈

🏁 Race 2
Starting from P2 everyone basically drag racing into the the corner down the hill managed to keep P2 & myself & Arnie was at it again. Stuck together like glue for 7 laps with no more than 3 tenths between us. Then with 2 laps to go I made my move going into turn 3 at the bottom of the hill. Then had to get my head down but could hear Arnie behind me until the flag. Incredible race Honda Vs Suzuki, this time Honda won!!! 🥇

🏁 Race 3 (Final Double Points)
Going into the final thought I’d be on P1 from my race 2 win but was on (P2 due to rules). Flag drops & my gearbox issues that had been plaguing me this round & missed a gear & dropped to 4th but managed to get back to P2 after end of the first lap. Arnie had really got away from us so tried my best to chase him down but it wasn’t to be & he maintained a good 1.5+ gap to me until the end 🥈

Really happy with the results & enjoyed the racing. My first Junior Talent Cup Pole Position & 🥈🥇🥈 ain’t a bad day at the races.
