Lenzerheide - Practice -

With back to back race weekends we didn’t have to travel far from Italy to Switzerland for round 7. Much like VDS last weekend things started off wet but the sun has come out – let’s hope it stays!

This new wooded section was what had a lot of riders talking, Kye A’Hearn went fastest in timed practice for junior men!

A lot of internet debate fired up regarding removing the rock garden towards the top of the track, overall the vibe from the riders is that overall the track is quite good! There is new slick wood section that caused issues, especially for group b, who were on track first before the sunshine.

Group B scored the slippery conditions but as they day went on the grip level increased!

As usual, plenty of whips got thrown down over the infamous bridge.

Dean Lucas scored his first podium here a few years ago, you can bet he is keen to repeat that this weekend!

Vali Holl will be keen to make a mends after her second place last weekend.

Quallies are on the cards soon!
