Just got off the phone with Andy and am totally stoked that he's finally taken a podium in the Senior class. Andy is amazingly fast to watch, but his results weren't really showing it this year due to perhaps a bit of over-zealous riding and a bit of bad luck. But this Caersws track with some new sections suited his strong pedalling style well, and he made some tricky tyre choices on race day to gain a bit more time.
It sounded like practice was a bit rough, both for Andy and Elliot Jr, who banged his bad knee and had to call it a weekend - healing vibes mate! Then there was biblical rain Saturday night, which didn't do the track any favours. But Andy managed to nail both race runs. Well, he said he'd had one slip up overcooking it into a treed section in his first run, but he still was 5th, so that's pretty much nailed in my book. His second run must have been really sweet to bust him into 3rd...only 0.2 from 2nd. Way to go Andy, we are pumped for you!
