Leon at Anglesey

On the weekend of September 13th and 14th, Leon made his maiden voyage at the Anglesey coastal circuit. This was the penultimate round of the Thundersport GB championship. Day one saw Leon qualify in 9th position, then going on to convert that in to 6th and 5th place finishes. And with a fastest lap time of 1:15:381 it was truly a fantastic ride, particularly as he'd never ridden the track before.

Day two, however, was a different matter! Race one saw Leon taken out whilst running in an excellent fourth place. Will Hodgson abruptly ended Leon's race with an unfortunate T-Boning incident on lap one - oh well, that's racing! Anyway, Mike, Brian from AMS Motorsport and the team set about rebuilding the bike for race two. And rebuild it they did, with Leon going out and taking another fantastic 6th place, and improving on his lap time from day one. A great showing for his first time at Anglesey, and consolidating his 3rd place position in the Junior Powerbike championship. Well done Leon!

Here's a very brief clip of day one, filmed mainly by Tracey:
