Congratulations to GKN Wheels' Telford employee Jamie Dobson who's won the National Twinshock Evo Open #MotoCross championship! Jamie receives sponsorship from our 'Challenger Fund'.We'll share Jamie's fascinating personal account on this season's journey to the podium 🏁🏆
As promised: Jamie Dobson's results from the first few races of his 2019 Motocross season:
Round 1 Evos at Polesworth. 7th April
“Having ridden the ‘old’ bike a week before, I was only able to complete 2 practice rides due to some mechanical issues sustained the previous year. So with little practice and an increased level in competition, I was hopeful to finish in the top 6 to kick the year off.
In the 1st race, I came through from 8th at the start to finish 3rd. I hit the start gate in race 2, a tough challenge ahead sitting in last position, in difficult, dusty conditions. I took some chances but finished in 6th which was reasonable given the earlier error.
Race 3 was better, I ran in 2nd for the majority of the race only to be passed on the last lap. Got a 3rd overall in the championship after round one so was pleased.
Round 1 BSMA Nationals at Culham, Oxford 27/28 April
My first ever BSMA National race. The track had some big jumps which normally would'nt be an issue but the 60mph gusts of wind were troublesome. Qualifying was challenging, and I ended up 13th fastest but there were some really fast young riders willing to take a lot more risks during the race than me.
Round 2 BSMA Nationals, Pontrilas, Herefordshire, 18/19 May
I struggled with a few bikes issues but managed to go 5,5,6,7 for 6th overall for the weekend. Currently 3rd in the championship standing.
The 26th May saw the National Twinshock at Bevercotes, Nottingham for round 3 of the evo mx bikes.
I'd been struggling with soft suspension but a last minute tweak and oil weight change in the forks made the bike feel much better. Track conditions were poor and there was a lot of dust being kicked up.
I was able to get reasonable starts but even in 3rd I couldn’t see the track in front of me so just had to ride on. I came away with with two 3rds and a 2nd resulting in 3rd overall. This has now put me up to 2nd in the championship standings.
Jamie's 2nd half season results to follow soon..
