Round Two Croft
After the superb first round at Brands Hatch ABS Racing today completed a
promising round two in ACU Motostar Dunlop Tyres' Replicast UK / Biksport
News British 250
Championship.
In Alex Symon's very first visit to Croft he qualified in a strong eighth place
and then fought with the elements in a wet race to finish a respectable
twelfth.
An eventful weekend for Alex started, on Saturday, in a rush with
organisational changes and unfolded in a nightmare untimed practice, at
the beginning of the day, where there was a collision with a slowing
rider. This resulted in a damaged radiator and subsequently the next
timed practice was missed.

As a result, the qualifying for the club race didn't go so well finishing
twenty-sixth out of thirty-one setting a fastest lap of 1:38.6.
However this allows for the realisation of where the weekend was
definitely positive overall.
In the following race Alex finished eleventh setting a fastest lap of
1:32.5. Then in an open race set a fastest lap of 1:32.0. This
was immediately before the British 250 qualifying race in which he managed
to cut his lap time down to 1:28.5. Only one second behind pole and
ten seconds quicker than his first qualifying session, the day before,
demonstrating the phenomenal progress that had been made.
Not to mention the benefit of experience of the wet race and four points
added to the championship tally
