Since the Motocross of Nations is being held the week after Assen BSB at the same venue, I thought I’d stay on and catch up with friends over here, as I used to live nearby. I had planned on a bit of motocross myself, but the weather has been utter poo, so I’ve just been training and looking forward to the MXoN. I’ve never actually been, but heard it’s a naughty event and makes Le Mans 24hr look like a school disco.
Anyways, Oulton Park was pretty sweet. With The Showdown place wrapped up, it was just about racking up those podium points and to come away with two 3rds and a win was ideal. Being my second visit to the track, and the first time I’ve returned to a new circuit this year, everything was smoother; I could concentrate on my riding and find my rhythm, rather than chewing tyres and biting the screen.
