Harri qualified 7th fastest and then blasted his Yamaha YZ450F off the start for a clear holeshot in race one. However, his lead was short lived as a small mistake on lap one, allowed the Honda’s of Mewse and Gilbert past, and Harri rode out the remainder of the race in a clear 3rd place.

In race two Harri’s start wasn’t as good, but he did get as high as 3rd before a fading clutch meant he had to nurse the bike home for 5th place.

Harri Kullas – “Not quite the day I was hoping for. Had good speed in race one and kept close to Gilbert for 3rd. Then race two I had clutch issues early on, so couldn’t push and had to bring the bike home in 5th.”

Top ten for Carpenter and MXN

Jamie Carpenter was back from injury at the final MX Nationals round at Hawkstone Park, after a nasty crash at the previous round 4 weeks ago.

Jamie qualified well in 5th place, and then had a decent start, only to crash on lap two, losing over 40 seconds and got going dead last. Jamie then put in a fantastic effort to get through to 10th in MX1 by the finish.
In race two, Jamie had a great start in 6th place, and put in some fast early laps to give himself some breathing space, to finish 6th.

Jamie Carpenter – “Good to be back at the races! First moto I crashed twice on the first lap and after being nearly a lap down, found a rhythm and came through to 10th. Second race I got a much better start and rode a decent race to finish 6th. Glad to finish the day on a more positive result after a few weeks away.”

6th overall for Nunn at Hawkstone

Sam Nunn was looking to get back to national form at the final MX Nationals from, coming back from a neck injury and after a winning weekend last week, at the VMxDN event at Foxhill.

Sam started well in race one but then had a small fall at the end of lap one, dropping him to 10th. Sam put his head down and had a great race from there on in, pushing through to 7th at the finish, with consistently fast lap times.
A slightly better start for Sam in race two, saw him inside the top 10 and pushing the 2023 MX2 champion right til the finish, to end up in 7th place, after a strong ride.

Sam Nunn – “Overall a good day at Hawkstone. Two come from behind motos and fighting to the end, so I can be pleased with that.”
