After a rest of around 4 weeks Alex came back with a brilliant result in Preson`s Winter Series. Following abit of work on his gate technique Alex put all that into practice in his racing by finishing in 2nd place in all the motos. Going into the final he was in gate 3 and as the gate dropped it was all to play for and going round the 1st berm Alex tucked in behind the leader ready to attack down the second straight. The second straight proved crucial as a slipped pedal by Alex allowed the leader to pull a couple of bike lengths away and that proved to be the gap at the end of the race but what a great days racing by Alex

It was a sunny Sunday at Preston for round 2 of their Winter Series and Ryan was put in with the 9, 10 & 11 age group. With 2 motos to qualify for the final it was going to be a tough day. Ryan managed to win all his qualifying races to give him 1st pick in the final where he choose gate 2. With a quality field lining up in the final including national riders from all the age groups it was important he got a good gate. When the gate dropped he was level with Jacob at the 10 mtr line, going over the step up towards the double Ryan got a better run and went into the 1st berm in front. Going into the second berm Ryan had opened a 2 bike lead. Ryan rode the 3rd straight perfect hitting every jump perfectly and had a lead of 5 bike lead by the final berm which he took had a quick look round to cruise over the line for fantastic win.
