Jay Hague
It wasnt such a successful day for the teams MX2 rider Jay Hague who raced at the MX Nationals finale at Cusses Gorse. Hed been second overall in the last two championship rounds and was looking fast in qualifying as he set the fifth fastest time.
But off the start line in the first race, several riders clashed and swerved into Hague, taking him down. His leg was injured but he eventually remounted and bravely rode on to take 16th place. But after medical checks, it was decided best to withdraw him from the event to give him maximum recovery time before Duns.
Team manager Dave Thorpe: "Tommy riding at Duns proved to be the right decision as we have made great progress prior to the next round of the British championship there. He got a lot of valuable testing done which all came together in the last race as he took the win.
"It was so unfortunate for Jay at the MX Nationals as hes been progressing so well and always gives it his best at every race. Fingers crossed his leg isnt too badly injured, as we all know hell do everything he can to get on the bike and race."
