Redline Round In Assen Holland

What a weekend it was great my dad took me to stay at my friends house Tino Popma .
We got there at about 9pm on friday so we didnt have much time to play before bed .(16 hours travelling my dad was moaning )
Saturday we went to Tinos locall track that his dad built it was really smooth and tight with lots of little jumps(i can see why tino is so good at jumping now ).
The afternoon was practise at the track in assen i felt good and my gates are so much better than the last few races so alls good .
Its good how they run practise cause you can get some laps in the afternoon and then they have more on the evening about 630 .
After the evening practise we went back to Tinos for tea and to play .
Sunday is race day and me and Tino were in the same races so i new it would be tough from the start ,anyway we had some good races with me winning all the races so i was well pleased i really think i can win the final.
I had first pick and Tino 4th i was going to pick gate 1 my dad told me to pick gate 8 and get the gate and shut them down but i picked gate 2 .
The holeshot was mine and i got a troy lee voucher so i thought yes a new helmet LOL.
I somehow got the jump wrong into the first turn and nearly fell off but managed to keep in front of everyone but i had killed all my speed down the second straight and tino had managed to keep out the way of me making the riders bunch up and railled the top of the berm and got good speed out of it and caught me going into the second berm and got thru on the inside ,i was gutted my dad was upset .
After the race when we put the bike in the car the front tyre had gone down and i had lost 3 bolts off my chain ring (i thought it felt strange ).
But to be fair to Tino he rode a great lap to take the win so well done Tino .
