“That’s a wrap for Greg’s 2024 season, huge thanks to the ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ team for the awesome stopping power this season!â€�

Donington Park BSB Round 8

“Not the way we wanted to end the season, making a return to the ‘Craner Club’ for the second year in a row.

“Practice went well; I finished P8 on scrubbed tyres from last round.

“Qualifying was going well, sitting in P3, but then I got pushed back to P4 so I went back out to put a fast lap in.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t make it past Craner, losing the front at 120mph. I got seen at the track and then blue-lighted straight to Resus at Queens Hospital in Nottingham in the ambulance.

“I had CT scans, X-rays, stitches and some more, but was back at the track by 11:30pm with a pizza, so huge thanks to the medical team at the track and at the hospital for getting me sorted so quickly.

“I picked up a few injuries, taking a little chunk out my hand, breaking a bone in my ankle and picking up a bad concussion, so now it’s time to rest and recover to get back out on a bike as soon as possible.

“There’ll be plenty of off-season practice over the next few months and Greg’s looking forward to getting out again next season at BSB in the Kawasaki Superteen class.�

SNETTERTON

Friday:

– Free Practice (P6) / Qualifying (P5)

“Best qualifying of the year so far so can’t be too disappointed. It was a shame to catch a slower rider in the final sector on my last lap which would’ve put me on the front row. Happy with 5th as I was on my own with no slipstream for the whole session.�

Saturday:

– Race (cancelled due to weather)

Sunday:

– Race (P5)

“Best finish of the season so far and happy to keep improving my results. Struggled a bit on the last couple of laps but we know we’ve got the pace to be up at the front.�

“Happy to be awarded the ‘Fast as Fuchs’ rider of the round. The brakes were amazing as usual, giving me the confidence to push harder at each round!

DONINGTON PARK

Friday:

Free Practice (P9)

Qualifying (P9)

Saturday:

Race 1 (P7)

“Was running 6th and pushing through the group when the red flags came out and I got put back to 7th.�

Sunday:

Race 2 (P8)

“A false neutral caused me to drop back from the front group but I pushed hard and caught the front group back up but it was too late to make any moves but I was happy with my pace.

“Overall good weekend I had good pace just a couple little things causing me to not quite get the results I wanted.

“Next stop: Brands Hatch…”

“I got my 2024 British Superteen season underway last weekend with my Kawasaki ZX-4RR at Oulton Park.Ìý

“I had a test day on the Thursday, followed by several sessions and two races planned across the bank holiday weekend.”

Thursday: Testing

“My times put me in P8 and I got to try a few different settings ahead of the race weekend.�

Saturday: Free Practice (P10)

“Good free practice session and I made a few changes after the test and felt confident heading into Quali later in the day.�

Quali (P9)

“Not the position I’d hoped for in Quali, but I was confident that I could push on from the 3^rd row of the grid if I could get a clean start in race 1.�

Monday: Warm Up (P8)

“I made another change overnight ahead of warmup and the bike felt good ahead of race 1.�

Monday: Race 1 (DNF)

“After another rider stood the bike up into cascades, I ended up dropping back a few places on the first lap. While I was pushing to catch back up to the group in front, I made a mistake into the last corner, causing me to run on into the gravel. I thought I’d saved it but unfortunately the bike had dropped which meant I couldn’t continue.�

Race 2: Cancelled

“I hope everyone involved in the incident in the BMW class is having a fast recovery.

“Unfortunate end to the weekend as I had a good feeling with the bike and was ready to push on in race 2.

“On to Donington Park next weekend and feeling confident to have a much better round.�
