2020 Plans !!! ๐Ÿ

The plan f or next year is to continue raci ng in Thundersport GB, GP2 CUP on my Kawasa ki Ninja 400, however next year weโ€™ re hoping to get to all t he rounds ๐Ÿคž and now that Iโ€™ ve burned the orange vest, thatโ€™s le ss weight, more aerodynamics so weโ€™ll go fast er ๐Ÿ˜‚ Thanks again for yo ur support
A special thanks to MSG Bi ke Gear for their expert knowledge in a ll things bike gear related , Jo hn Warrington Motorcycles - Malton for letti ng us play on the dyno โœŠ a nd Bikes & Bits f or the invaluable advice and help ๐Ÿ˜„

Iโ€™ ll see you all next season ๐Ÿ‘
Round 8 and my first ti me round Oulton Park, it was qui te a shower ๐ŸŒง , lots of ra in, standing water and a low s un made visibility challenging. The track it โ€™s self seemed great fun and I kn ow where I need to improve on f or the next time.

Race 1: aft er the first lap the race w as red flagged due to some spil ls and the it was reset to 5 la ps, because of poor visibility and a coup le of wobbles from both tyres it real ly set my pace back, but as I on ly needed to finish to get poin ts it was a steady away situati on, finishing 3rd in cup class

Race 2: it h ad stopped raining and there was a d ry line throughout most of the tra ck, my time improved by 15 s ec from my first race, and I w as really starting to enjoy the tra ck. It was still a matter of buildi ng up confidence around the circuit, a nd I know where I can impro ve on the next time I go. I finished 3rd in Cup

A nd now to the THANK YOUโ€™S !!!

I โ€™d like to say a MASSIVE THA NK YOU to MSG Bike Gear f or helping me choose the right ge ar (they nailed it ๐Ÿ‘)
John Warrington Motorcycl es - Malton for helping to g et the bike running better than ev er
