England (8/22/2011) - This Bank
Holiday Weekend sees the ACU Goldspeed British Quadcross
Championship visit Langrish Motopark during the
prestigious Ken Hall Trophy weekend. With just the
adult championships taking place for round five
on Sunday 28th August, this will also be the last
race for current British Champion Paul Winrow after
announcing his retirement at the beginning of the
month.
Organised by the Langrish Motor Cycle Racing
Club, the circuit offers plenty of action with
a hard packed surface, spectacular jumps and drops,
as well as being set in the beautiful Hampshire
countryside. With John Mitchell having so far
won each of the previous rounds, could he go on
to win another or will one of this year’s
other championship contenders succeed this weekend?
With Mark Watson, David Wray, Carl Bunce and Paul
Holmes all in contention there is still lots of
wheel to wheel racing ahead as they all battle
for the championship.
The previous round at Dean Moor witnessed some
outstanding individual performances. It was a
promising start for KTM’s Mark Watson who
took an impressive lead to win the first race,
followed by ATV World Yamaha’s John Mitchell
in second and Holmes Racing’s Paul Holmes
in third. As Watson took the lead in race two,
his axle broke as he landed a jump and Mitchell
capitalised to win race two and the overall round.
Holmes finished second with David Wray coming
in third. Overall positions saw Mitchell in first,
Holmes in second and a return to the podium after
two years for Stefan Murphy in third. Murphy also
took the Under 21 championship with two consistent
results.
