So as we wait for the first race of the 2012 Maxxis British motocross championship the start is being prepped, the sun is out keeping spectators in high spirits and the excitement is building. In MX2 Zach Osborne was over a second quicker than second place Arnaud Tonus, but Tonus is looking smooth and the track has now rutted up nicely so I think we are going to be in for a very exciting first race.
mx2 underway, Tonus with the holeshot! Osborne 2nd close behind. Nicolas aubin went down on the first corner. Elliot banks-Browne was third until he dropped it on lap 2. Lap 4 Osborne has taken the lead from tonus. Nicolas aubin has gone down again and has now been lapped. EBB is closing in on Bradshaw.
