Wulfsport British Masters Series


The Wulfsport British Masters series,following the three thrilling rounds of the 2010,hits the midway point on the weekend of June 5th/6th with a visit to the famous Foxhill Moto Parc,near Swindon,Wiltshire.With then just a further three rounds to come,the battle heat will certainly intensify as riders approach the business end of the season,chasing their share of what is one of the largest overall MX prize funds in Europe.

In Pro MX1,Scott Elderfield had led proceedings before being overhauled at Whitby by Gordon Crockard. Although Crockard’s advantage is just a current ten points,his series lead as been built on very impressive consistency in what as proved to be an ultra-competitive,spectacular class. Already in Pro MX1,Crockard(2),Elderfield,Brad Anderson,Martin Barr and Ben LaMay have recorded moto wins. Expect the rivalry to continue at Foxhill with Jamie Lewis,James Noble, Wayne Garrett,Nathan Parker,Kevin Wells and John May also in the mix and looking to improve their current standings within the top ten.

Although Elderfield has lost his Pro MX1 lead,he still dictates proceedings in the Pro MX2 series,holding an 80 point advantage over current second place rider James Dodd. Dodd though is under intense pressure to maintain his placing from the hard charging Barr,Luke Mellows and top AMCA rider Lee Dunham.Unfortunately,though Dunham will be absent from Foxhills as he is away on IMBA European Championship duty in France. Despite not competing in round one at Mallory Park,Barr is definitely the in-form rider in MX2 and after winning both races at Whitby,he will certainly be the rider to beat at Foxhill.

The Proppa.com MXY2 clashes continue to thrill,and in the race to win a 2011 250F bike and race gear,it’s still the ultra consistent Alexander Hussey who leads the way although he is just a very narrow two points ahead of Dan Thornhill. Proving just what quality and strength in depth this class possesses,so far James Dunn(4),Christian Taylor(3), Luke Norris(3),Luke Dean and Damon Wales have picked up the moto wins.At present less than 35 points separates the top four of Hussey,Thornhill,Ryan Williams and Dunn.But with another 200 points up for grabs,expect Foxhill to produce yet more great action.

In the Moto-Pro Suspension Mini Masters,just 29 points separates the current BW85cc top three of Sam Winterburn,Adam Darbyshire and Murray Clunie.Over in SW85cc,Casey Connelly holds a 45 point advantage over Tyron Cleaver with Charlie Hamlet just a further 6 points behind in 3rd.

Zac Stealey and Tom Watts are currently dominating the Kawasaki Masters class,battling for the right to pick up a brand new 2011 Kawasaki 250F and spares budget.Indeed they have shared all twelve moto wins with Stealey currently leading that contest by a 8-4 score count.Holding third in the series at present is Daniel Hill.

With Jamie Dobson,the early leader of the Amateur MX1 class,crashing out at Whitby,Scott Beevers has now took control although he is just three points ahead of young Matthew Williamson.Williamson is currently in fine form and will be determined to take control of proceedings at Foxhill.Expect George Walton and Michael Smith to also be well in contention in this group.

In the GSP Race Products Amateur MX2 class,Darren Carter has moved to the top of the series standings after overhauling early leader Daniel Brough who was restricted to a 6th overall finish at Whitby.However with Carter’s advantage at the top just 21 points,Brough will be looking to bounce back in style at Foxhill and expect Richard McDermott,Aled Bellis and Rick Lethaby to all be well in contention.

Shaun Scrivens leads the Michelin Masters MX1 class,20 points ahead of Aaron Lowe with Christopher Rose sitting in 3rd.In Michelin Masters MX2,despite suffering his first defeat of the Masters series at Whitby,Scott Smith still heads the table with Marc Roe in 2nd,Jack Jones 3rd and Scott’s brother Sam in 4th.
