125cc CHAMPIONSHIP A BIG SUCCESS
Tuesday 20 September 2011
PHIL Morris has described the inaugural British 125cc Youth Championship last weekend as a “fantastic night of racing.”
The event was staged at Eastbourne following the Eagles’ KO Cup semi-final against Poole, and after a successful night Morris feels it will now have a regular place on the calendar.
Henry Atkins took the honours, going through the card unbeaten in qualifying races and Final, with Jack P Blackburn and Ben Woodhull also on the rostrum and Lewis Whitmore in fourth place.
Morris said: “It was a fantastic night of racing on a track that was very wet due to persistent rain throughout the twelve heats. The rain only eased for the Final.
“Henry was a very deserving winner as he won all of his heats and the big Final which counted. Jack was second and has improved beyond recognition, and Ben had another solid meeting and was always in line for a podium place.
“Lewis is a very intelligent rider who has already got a fantastic racing brain by using outside swoops and cut-back moves to pass riders after his bad starts.
“The other eight riders all had great races. Young Tom Brennan was unlucky to have an engine failure on the start-line of his first race, and he then used borrowed equipment from William O’Keefe and just missed the Final by a point, and Kenny Bowdery missed out because of a fall when leading a heat. A special note must go to Jack Collins and Macauley Leek who had two really special races when they raced by side-by-side.
“We would like to thank the BSPA for sanctioning the event, Eastbourne for running it, and Wessex Marina for sponsoring it. Everyone voted it a great success, and I’m sure this will definitely now be an annual event.”
