Hucklebridge's teething problems.

VOR Motori UK rider Mark Hucklebridge competed his first UK race of the season at Hawkstone Park this weekend and was one of many riders to suffer a few teething problems,

After a bad start in heat one Huck quickly moved through the pack and by the third lap was up to 20 position, at half distance the Marshfield based rider was into the top 15 and began to close in on the group ahead including Everts and Nunn, after a tough battle with Nunn, Huck finally claimed 12 spot as he crossed the line.

The second moto saw an even worse start as the VOR rider came round for the first lap some ten seconds behind the pack, but again he fought hard and pushed his way through the pack to claim a well deserved 11th position.

The final saw the VOR retire after the foot rest got jammed after a collision on the start.

"I was pleased with today's result, I am still getting used to the new bike and really need to work a little on my starts, I had to work hard to come through the pack and was pleased with my fitness, I know a lot of riders were suffering with arm pump. I had a small problem in the final due to a collision but the bike is running really well now, I just need to keep training, I am going to go over to Belgium and do some riding and probably a couple of local races"
