The Women’s cat lived up to it’s reputation as the best category to watch. There was lots of close racing, plenty of overtaking and some good old elbow rubbing!

Hannah Escott rounded off the podium with 5th after spending the entire day making moves on track. Promoting themselves from 6th and 5th at Chicksands Ami Grindley and Rona Strivens finished 4th and 3rd. No change at the top though for Megan Wherry and Tyde D’Souza who would once again finish 2nd and 1st. Both girls racing with class and styling the pro line to boot! I’m looking forward to watching that rivalry develop over this season.

Onto the Pro Elites! There is never an inch given and that’s why we love it! Alex Metcalfe after a tough time in the moto’s would manage a top to bottom lead in the B final to net him 5th place. In the A-final, fresh off the plane from building a new pump track in South Africa DMR Bikes Duncan Ferris would take to the outside of the corners trying to overtake Luke Cryer but to no avail as the pair would finish 4th and 3rd. At the front Connor Hudson had a great start but it wasn’t enough to get him into 1st and it would be a close 2nd place for him behind Will Evans who blitzed the start and made use of the tracks inside lines to defend his lead at the start and from then on victory was his.

So that was round two all wrapped up, a fantastic day of racing, 4x has a real camaraderie about it. All the competitors just want to race, the pits are a hive of parts sharing, food sharing and having fun, a real family atmosphere. Next up the series heads to Afan on May 7th. Where other disciplines are getting more serious 4x is just getting more fun! You have to try it for yourself!
