NZ MINI TT CHAMPS July 3rd - 4th. Kuratau

[Sunday Casual]

Was that you on the 900 KTM, Sunday Casual??

Yeah, that was me on the KTM (#900) in MX2.


Had an up and down weekend really, had 3 good races and 2 shocking ones. Because the races were so short, any mistake was going to cost you. A little mistake in two races saw me drop from 11th to 28th in about 30 seconds flat. I guess that there will always be aspects to work on next year!


In the races I kept it together I was 11th, 13th and 13th, so it was promising. Next year I guess! 17th overall, a bit unhappy about it but that's racing; consistency is key. Glad to be in one piece today. There were a few serious accidents and a few ambulances were seen... I wish a speedy recovery to those hurt.

Yeah i agree you have to be consistent and keep the bike the right way up with the short races, i went from 5th to dead last 23rd after my stall, had fun trying to get back, made it up to 16th so i was pretty stoked.
Talked to the farmer afterwards, heaps of collarbones, a couple of wrists and a neck injury, it was fast so that is to be expected i guess, hope they all get better soon.
A guy next to me on the start jumped early and got hooked on the gate, flung himself and his bike in a massive endo, fucked his new helmet and tweaked his neck, bloody impressive to watch but i bet it didn't feel so good.
Roll on next year!
