Race 2 Aragon and photos.

Race 2 and once again , and we seem to have to say it every time, the pack at the front went at it full on from lap 1. Brad went through at the end of lap one in 6th place, at the end of lap 2 had pulled through to 4th place, but back again to 6th on lap 3 and losing time on the next lap and went back to 9th which he held until lap 9. Two riders that had been running just off the leading group were able to pull up to the leaders and one got the better of a Brad putting him back to 10th.

On lap 11 Karel Hanika's bike stopped, and on lap 12 Scott Deroue fell, giving Brad 8th place at the finish of the 15 laps. 4 seconds behind the leading group who crossed the line with 0.67 seconds covering all 7!! I'm sure he would have liked it to be a more genuine 8th but let's take what we can get and accept the points.

Fellow Brits, Jordan Weaving finished 14th, and Tarran MacKenzie was just one place down from Brad but 10 seconds behind.

Brad's final Championship classification is 11th but, with less points than he earned last year when he finished 7th,he won't be overjoyed.

There are 3 more races to do before the end of the season the last round of the Monster Energy Motostar Championship at Brands Hatch on the 18th to 20th October and 2 CEV events, Valencia on the 15th to 17th November, and Jerez on the 22nd to 24th November.

Let's see if we can make those final 3 memorable with really good results.

Photos show how close thing run.  Brad #28 can be seen in both.  Click for larger version.
