Nev Bradshaw claims Red Bull Pro MX2 title
: Today was pretty good, a lot better than I thought it would be. Obviously hurting myself during the week and not knowing if I could ride coming here, I luckily had enough points that I didn’t have to do too much. In qualifying I only put one or two laps in to see how the shoulder was, if I could actually ride, and it wasn’t too bad with the brace on. In the first race I didn’t get a great start, I couldn’t hold on to the bike really so I just took it easy, then got onto Steven Lenoir and made a pass on him, and then just rode it out. Towards the finish I had no power in my arm whatsoever, I was making silly mistakes, so I thought I’d just ride it out to the finish. Luckily I managed to get the championship in that race. In the second race I just wanted to go out and finish the race to see how the shoulder would be for next weekend, I knew that if I could finish two races this weekend, and got therapy on the shoulder during the week, I’d be ok for next weekend. I managed to get a decent start, got a good rhythm, and won it. Graeme was coming up towards the end and I could see him, and I managed to gap him at the end and I was really happy with that performance, to ride through the pain like that, it shows that people have put a lot of work in, sometimes things don’t go perfectly, it was making the best of the situation.</p>
<p>Joe Bamfield (#54): Qualifying was good, got fourth which was alright for the gate pick. The first race was rubbish, coming down the hill and got a tank slapper and accidentally cut the track. The second race I crashed on the start and hurt my ribs, which resulted in a DNF. First race this morning I got eighth, still suffering from that hurt rib, the next race I was fifth from a bad start, and then the last one I was fourth. Not happy with the weekend at all.</p>
<p>Jordan Divall (#63): Qualifying on Saturday was good, I had third. In the first race I was doing really well, I came through the pack from sixth or seventh and I had fast lap times in the race until I went down with a back marker and got back to thirteenth. In the first race today I got a good start and went up a bank and the front end washed out, I crashed and cut my arm. I came back to sixteenth in that. In the second race today I got a terrible start and just rode around in seventh, so not happy at all.</p>
