“Red Plate, for Risk Racing Racer”
Championship Leader!
Risk Racing Athlete, Richard Bird “Blitzed” another holeshot on his way to collecting the Championship leaders “Red Number plate “ at Round six of the Northern Ireland MX2 Motocross series last Saturday. A questionable passing manoeuvre by a fellow competitor left the GOMX KTM “up-side down “within sight of the chequered flag. Ricky remounted to claim second position.
Another lightening start in the second moto set the scene for an epic battle at the front of the pack; unfortunately a mechanical gremlin caused the Orange machine to loose power intermittingly, which meant Richard was unable to clear many of the massive jumps around the Donamana circuit.
With Two Rounds remaining, this Championship is set for an explosive finish.
1 / Richard Bird, Risk Racing Europe / Watt KTM 155 pts
2/ Wayne Garrett, TSR KTM, 152 pts
3/ Stuart Edmonds, Electraction / Factory TM, 150 pts
