Sunday Race 1
After a good qualifying for 5th place with the times being within 0.3 from 2nd to 5th it was good to be right in the mix. I got a mega start and was up into 4th and after a battle with Josh Day I moved up to 3rd place and catching Jamie Perrin. On the 8th lap Sam Hornseys bike blew up right in front of me and Perrin and we both ran wide thinking what the hell! Trying to avoid the oil and smoke, but then the race was red flagged and I finished 3rd my first podium of 2015! I was great to be back on the podium after a tough few rounds and I feel we made a good step up at Oulton and I was determined to go one better for Monday's race! 


Monday Race 2
I started 5th again right next to Josh Day and Levi Day. we lined up on the grid after the warm up lap and waited for the lights to go out then the red flag appeared after something happened so we had to restart with a new warm up lap and start. I got another good start and was in the middle but as I turn in there was Levi Day I moved over but he managed to hit me and I think my bar got wedged in his fairing and it pulled me down and I collect Luke Jones, who's bike then fell on my leg and put a hole in my foot, ouch! It was a racing incident and no one means to do that, that's racing! I was just gutted after such a good race on Sunday I was feeling good for another podium.
My foot is healing well and I will be back for the 19th and 21st at Snetterton!
