UK Bike Park – RD3 June 20th 2010
Sorry for the delay folks, quite an eventful weekend this one seeing Dan Burchall carried off in an ambulance and out of action due to a broken collar bone. Quite an ambitious jump which, had Dan have made it, would have been pretty spectacular.
The accident was on the Sunday morning which left Ben Hargreaves and Marc McHale ( Team manager ) to fly the flag. At UKBP you get two runs, best run out of the two counts to the final position. After the first run, Ben was in 3rd place (in masters) half a second off second place, with Marc hot on his heals a few seconds off the pace.
Nearly at the end of the second run, Ben was still in third place with Marc needing to pull some magic out of the bag to secure a podium, unfortunately for Ben this happened, Marc found 8 seconds and pushed Ben off the podium by 2 seconds!! How annoying.
Wishing a speedy recovery to Dan, and see you at the next round (4) August 29th 2010.
