The third round of the British Masters MX series held at Hawkstone Park in Shropshire at the weekend, saw tremendous consistency from the Team Relentless Suzuki squad, with all riders securing podium positions, with Lewis Gregory taking the overall win.
With Lewis and team mate Alex Snow contesting the Pro 125 class, qualifying started in the right direction with Lewis fastest and Alex in sixth.
After gating just outside the top five, Lewis put his blistering pace to good use, moving through the field to second place behind Brad Anderson. Despite putting on the pressure, the RM-Z250 rider was not able to make a move on Anderson and settled for a solid second place finish.
Meanwhile Alex Snow continued to ride in true ‘relentless’ form, making his way up to fourth place before being caught up in a backmarker crash. Not to be deterred he pushed on to finish in fifth position.
Determined to make up for his runner-up spot in race one, Gregory rode hard from the gate, quickly settling in behind Anderson, before taking the lead three laps from the flag. Holding his place to the line, Lewis took the race and overall win, with team mate Alex joining podium celebrations with a great third place finish.
With Jamie Law recovering from a damaged shoulder, Hawkstone was to be his first competitive ride since the end of May. Opting to ride in the open class, Jamie was to make his competitive debut in the larger capacity class.
A third position in qualification, turned into a brilliant runner-up spot in race one. Keen to go one better in race two, Jamie closed the gap but just as he started to make his assault on the lead a small slip saw him crash, before restarting and moving back to fourth place by the flag and equal second place points overall.
Team manager Rob Hooper commented, “All riders should be very proud today. They all showed fantastic determination and skill in tough conditions. I really believe this is the beginning of a step-up for all three riders”.
