The 65s were first out to the well prepped Swanmore track. For Mason Doe the day didn’t start as planned as he grabbed a 4th place finish in moto one. In races 2 and 3 he managed to claim two chequered flags. This meant that with his results of 4,1,1 he had done just enough to claim the overall. Toby Bond took moto one and with his results of 1,2,4 he took second overall. Spencer Newman was in the mix all day but third went to Dexter Prowse with his 2,7,2.
Second out were the Autos. Some very exciting racing took place. Franklin Cording led the pack in all 3 motos claiming 3 race wins and the overall. Leo Adams was a close second. He went 2,2,2 with some very clean and consistent racing. The final podium spot went to Hendrix Prowse who was also very consistent all day. He went 3,3,3.
Vmx and Mx1 classes hit the track together. The vets showed they had lots of fight to give out on the track.
The Vmx was led by Mark Morris senior. He found the conditions were perfect and easily bagged 1,1,1. This got the championship signed, sealed and delivered, crowning him the 2021 Vmx champion. This is the second Pmxc title in a row for Mr. Suzuki and it was well deserved. He was followed in by Martin Bradbury who put in 3 very solid motos of 3,2,2. 3rd place went to Ed charman after his motos of 8,3,3.
In the Mx1 Luke Kennet walked all over most of the field and went 1,1,1 for first overall and maximum points. Dan Lawler put in a consistent 3 motos of 2,2,2 to grab second. Callum Allison managed to round off the podium on the day after going 4,4,3.
The Mx2 had some good riding on display. Charlie Razzel went head to head with Jamie Watson. Charlie came out on top and went 1,1,2. Watson still had a pretty impressive second after going 2,2,1. 3rd place could’ve gone to anybody and it was Ryan Turner who took the opportunity to grab that spot. He got better as the day went on and grabbed results of 8,5,3
There could only be one winner in the Youth class. Luke Southern went 1,1,1 with ease. After only losing 1 moto all season, and taking every single first overall, he was crowned the youth champion 2021. A well deserved title for someone who has shown their talent all year round. Robert Storer followed on in second place after some great results of 3,2,2. Ollie Ruddock finished off the podium with his results of 2,3,4.
Bw85 and Sw85 also hit the track together.
In the Big wheels Finley Yorke-Williams strung together a perfect day of 3 motos going 1,1,1 to take the overall in his class. Casey Kennett also strung together 3 consistent motos going 2,2,2 to claim second place. The final podium spot could have gone to anybody but it was Jimmy Holloway that grabbed it with 4,5,3.
In the Small wheels it was the battle between Marley Alder and Harrison Schofield. Although Alder claimed moto one he had to settle for second overall. (1,2,2) this meant that Schofield’s races of 2,1,1 gave him the overall on the day. Their podium was finished off with Joseph Wright who had gone 6,3,2 for a well deserved result.
