24 July 2008
27 year old Marcus Wade is in his second full season on a Triumph Daytona 675. In 2008 he is challenging not just for the New Era F600 and Sound of Thunder Championships, but also as four wildcard entries at British Supersport. Here is his race report from Oulton Park at the weekend. The first practice session was wet and Wade set to the track looking forward to riding in these conditions. For the first 10 mins of the session Wade topped the time sheets, becoming consistently quicker. Half way though the session he pitted to fit a intermediate front and dry rear as the track had dried too much. Again, he kept in the top 20 with the drying conditions, then pitting for fuel with eight mins to go only to find a technical issue that needed to be resolved. As the track was drying he dropped down in the final mins the order ending 32nd. The next session presented difficult conditions due to the mix of dry and damp sections of track.
