Rider: Paul Whibley
Team: AmPro Yamaha
Bike: Yamaha YZ125
Result: 4th

First race on the YZ125 which will be my race bike for the XC3 class in the GNCCs. . I was suffering from the cold/flu that has been going around and probably would have been better off in bed but I wanted to get some race time on the Factory Connection suspension and get some data on fuel mileage. I got a good start and was 3rd into the first corner despite lining up along side a bunch of 450s. The track was half hard pack, half sandy, quite dry and dusty, making vision a challenge with the sun low in the sky.

We were on a conservative pit stop regime and fuelled twice, loosing 3rd place in the last stop.
