JST GGUK No.1 rider Michael Brown was at WTC Czecho and finished 10th. Michael was beaten again by Matteo Grattorla by only one mark. The same as last weekend in Italy. Matteo also tied with Danni Oliveras so Michael only missed 8th place by one frustrating mark. Michael had some awesome rides but too many mistakes costing his vital positions.
Because of his ongoing knee injury (which is coming on really well now) he has not spent much time on his bike. Only gym work and physio to improve the knees range of movement. Now that his knee is getting good Michael knows he must have more ‘bike time’ before WTC UK in order to get the result he is capable of. Thanks to ‘stand-in’ Minder Ben Hemingway. Thanks always to GG Italia for the bike and service.
The Westmorland Club hosted the S3 Championship Round yesterday and JST GGUK Rider Dan Thorpe was second overall. GG rider James Graham had a good ride finishing 4th in the S3 Class. JST GGUK rider Jack Stones was 13th.
The JST GG girls had a busy weekend with two British Champ rounds in the same weekend. Round 3 on Saturday was organised by the South Shropshire MCC and JST riders Nikita Smith and Katy Sunter were 3rd and 4th respectively. Round 4 on Sunday was the Mansfield Maun event which saw a very welcome return of JSTGG rider Joanne Coles who was straight away back to the podium finishing a strong second place easily beating Becky Cook. GG girls Nikita Smith and Katy Sunter were 4th and 5th.
