Hi guys, This time the team had travelled to Denmark for the third round of the European Championship. It was the first time I had been to Denmark and I was surprised about how much it looked like England. The track was nice but with it being the 85cc and 65cc it didn’t get very ruff.

I had fun on Saturday putting in some good laps. I eventually ended up 4^th in timed training. It was 35 degrees and with two twenty five minuet motos alot of people would be feeling it.

In my first race on Sunday, I got a reasonable start and was sat in third. It went Herlings, Clermont (the series leader) then me. On about the third lap I came underneath Clermont going for the pass and as I jumped across him, he launched his bike on top of me. (Like Stewart and Carmichael last year at one of the nationals) we both got going again pretty fast but I had jammed my throttle open, bent the front disc and also almost ripped the radiator off. I had to come in and pit. After my mechanic had sorted a few bits out I went back into the race. I moved fast and was pushing through. I eventually ended up 16^th.It was ok though because I scored 4 points and Clermont DNF’d it.

In my second race I got another pretty good start. I was in fifth but was soon into 3^rd again. This time it was Herlings then Tonkov. About four laps in I caught both of them and then got around them out the back. I then pulled out about a 5sec gap, when I over jumped one of the table tops and landed in the bumps. I went down but was up fast and still in third. I then charged for two laps closing them in again, and then got around Tonkov again. I was right behind Herlings when I think the heat hit me and also being right behind him made it hard to breath. I then started being sick so I thought give it a rest for a lap and then go again. So I sat behind them with about a 5sec gap. Next lap was the two lap board so I pushed again and caught them again. This time I passed both of them in one turn taking the lead. And also this time I made it stick.

It was a great weekend, shame about the crash in the first race but now in the point’s standings there is only 7 points between Tonkov the new leader of the championship and me. So it is all very close. I can’t wait until the next round in Markelo Holland in 3 weeks. We have MX3, MX2 and us, so the track will be so bumpy.

See you there

Max
