Full Throttle 8

Harry and Danny ready to race
began to make his way through, passing four
riders in one lap during the opening stages. He
eventually caught up to the rear of Webb
before passing him.
Despite having the pace to run nearer the
front, the talented teenager came home in
eighth place. Webb meanwhile, struggling with
his left wrist that he injured in Sunday’s crash,
battled through to cross the line in tenth place.
Afterwards Harry Hartley said: “This
weekend has been up and down really. Sunday
was a massive disappointment not only for me
but the whole team after the preseason build
up. However, Monday’s result was a great
confidence boost and I can’t wait to move on
to Brands Hatch now.
The team worked
tirelessly all weekend
and that showed with
the pace of the bike in
Monday’s race. Eighth
is the benchmark now
and we need to build
from here throughout the season.”
Commenting on his first outing Danny

track time is vital. Everyone learns so much
from the races and to crash out was a big
disappointment. The
bike was a bit of a mess
but the team were
fantastic in putting it
back together in time. I
was struggling with my
wrist, an injury that
seems to reoccur, but I
kept going and to grab a top ten finish at the
end of it was pleasing. There’s a long way to go
from here but it’s a positive start.”
