The last Round of the French Championship. Do not miss it.

This weekend we returned to Bournemouth for the final round of the P1 AquaX in UK. The conditions were rough which was perfect for me. In the first Moto, I received a penalty for missing a buoy which gave me 3rd place. We were all set for Moto 2 when the conditions worsened and the racing was cancelled for the day as a big storm hit the coast. So today we had two races this is where I needed to make it count Moto 2, I went out and pushed hard taking the win. In Moto 3 I was leading the race when 3/4 of the way in I had mechanical problems with an exhaust hose coming off which resulted in last place points. Luckily I still managed to make the podium with 3rd place overall for the weekend. But more importantly I took the championship win in the Elite 300 Class for the third year running. This is a major achievement as it has been won by a different model of Yamaha each year! This would not be possible without my amazing sponsors who I wish to thank Jet Porda Jet Tribe Rock Oil R N R Aysha Rensink RTC Roofing IPD Graphics Hydro turf Deans Team Power Maxed Jet Shed.
