Whatever you do, don’t forget to watch the action from Cadwell Park on MotorsTV (Sky413) tonight at 7pm! It’s going to be scorching!

The new issue of the Wiltshire Times has a big report on the Cadwell Park weekend. Pic below. It’s also in my photo gallery, along with a legible close-up on the words!

After the ferocity of the first race today, I was more than a little nervous before the second. I got a good start but missed a gear again and let four bikes past, but regrouped instantly passing one on the outside into turn one, another on the back straight, and then McNealey’s KTM around the outside into the Gooseneck. On the second lap I caught and passed Denyer for the lead and charged hard to get away, setting a new lap record of 1m37.1s in the process.
This time I was able to build a gap and in the end I won by seven seconds. I’m so happy to clean sweep the weekend, especially with the high standard of opposition. I now have a 19pt lead in the championship too.
Thanks to everyone that supports me and makes it possible, from family to sponsors S&B Automotive and White Dalton. All of your support means the world to me.

Somehow I knew that today’s races would be different. Maybe it’s the presence of the TV cameras. The pace was savage from the start and both Andy Denyer (Triumph) and Chris Matthews (Moto46 KTM) got by as I wheelied too much off the line. What followed was the most intense race I’ve ever had.
After swapping places a few times I fought through to the lead, only to make two mistakes and get pushed back to third again. I planned my passes, made them stick, and got past the back-markers effectively to take the win. The margin of two seconds didn’t reflect what a close race it was. This win means more than any other yet.
Suddenly, the Streetfighter A championship looks a lot closer and tougher. Fourth placed Rob McNealy (KTM) is a top supermoto racer new to road racing and he’s learning fast and sure to be a contender for the rest of the season along with Andy and Chris.
One thing is for sure though, I’m here to win and I want to keep doing it. I’ll give it everything again in the second race.
Wish me luck.

After the stress and drama of race one, the second race was a lot more straightforward though still tough. From pole I grabbed the lead, put my head down, and stayed there to the flag. Andy Denyer pushed me quite hard this time, especially as it started raining a little, but I was able to keep a gap. Well done to him and Chris Matthews who took a great pair of third places in some of the best Streetfighter racing yet.
