After a lengthy drive to Steinbourg in France, near the Swiss border we got technical control out the way just before the 7pm deadline and settled in for a good night talking quads and PDV futures, sharing food and wine !! (Beers N Bacardi )

The French competition certainly looked good with 8 out of the top 10 bikes in qualifying session all being Hybrids.
Harry qualified 6th and Christopher 4th both on Yamaha 450R machines.
Moto 1 saw a big pile up at the start with Harry & Christopher both involved and having to re-mount, ultimately carving through the pack from last for a 5th place finish for Harry and 6th Christopher. A fair result over the 20+2 moto.
Moto 2 saw a better start, with Harry taking the lead on the second lap for 4-5 laps only to be overtaken by experienced Belgian Randy Nauvaux and then finishing a comfortable 2nd place.
Moto 3 was a strong ride finishing in 4th place and subsequently taking the last spot on the podium in 3rd and some prize money to take home too, for the next European Adventure.
Confidence is Growing week by week and fitness levels equally to match, all proving a favourable combination with our Awesome set up for 2023…
The 2nd Round of the ACU British championship is this weekend coming at Ironworks in the north as Harry will be looking to re-claim some of the lost points from a throttle problem in round 1.
