2013 British Championship: Foxhills

It was another brilliant day at the Maxxis British Motocross Championship as the sun came out and the racing around the classic track at Foxhills was spectacular.

Raptor Titanium sponsored riders dominated the top of the results once again in both classes as MX2 points leader Elliott Banks-Browne of HM Plant KTM UK kept it consistent and the red plate remains his after dealing with a few technical scares he came through with overall third.

Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Dean Ferris of the Monster Energy Yamaha outfit rode a wildcard entry at the event and shook things up from the word go, pressuring Banks-Browne until the last corner in the first race before having a crash and trailing in the second before a spectacular turnaround in the combined superfinal to go first in the MX2 division in that race.

Neville Bradshaw took the top step of the podium overall after a very strong day's racing ahead of LPE Kawasaki's Bryan Mackenzie who also looked in control around the astonishingly fast circuit.

It was HM KTM UK rider Steven Clarke though who grabbed the most attention as he stormed to victory in the second race, showing a very bright future for him.

The HM Plant KTM UK brothers Nathan and Ben Watson showed more signs of improvement with strong performances and gritty determination in the mix with the best of the British Championship.

It was intensive battling in MX1 as well with KTM STR riders Mattis Karro and Jonathan Barragan taking the second and third overall podium spots behind MBO Yamaha's Kristian Whatley who proved to be very strong on the day.

Buildbase Honda and Raptor Titanium sponsored riders Adam Chatfield and Nicholas Aubin took overall fifth and fourth respectively.

The shock of the day was the MX1 red plate holder and Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Tanel Leok suffering a broken collar bone halfway round the first lap of the first MX1 race. It is not clear if the MVR-D Honda rider is out for the remainder of the season at this point.
