The official update from the Team Camp reads thus :
"It’s been a busy month for Team Relentless Suzuki. Since the Easter weekend, the team have been competing on home and foreign soil, posting impressive results along the way.
At home, in the Under 21 championships, Jamie Law proved his potential by taking a win and a second place finish at Whiteway Barton in Devon and strengthening his second place standing in the championship tables. Team-mate Alex Snow rode strongly too, but suffered bad luck to finish down the field.
In a case of same day, different country, Lewis Gregory was contesting the second round of the MX2 European Championship in Italy. A seventh place finish in race one was an impressive result for Lewis, but a crash in race two meant a DNF due to a damaged wheel.
By the following weekend, Jamie and Alex joined Lewis at round three of the MX2 European Championship at Talavera de la Reina, near Madrid in Spain.
With all three Team Relentless riders qualifying in Group A, Jamie most notably held a fantastic fourth place at the end of lap one. Settling into the leaders pace, a moment of over exuberance cost him dearly when he got trapped in the trackside fencing and ultimately had to retire from the race.
After a DNF for Lewis, Alex became the only finisher in race one, coming home just outside the points in 24th place. Lewis came through the pack in race two to finish in sixth place, with Jamie and Alex finishing 19th and 20th respectively, and inside the points.
The last weekend of April saw the team back in England at the third round of the British under 21 and four stroke championship held at Blaxhall Pits, Suffolk. Jamie Law kept up his challenge for the title with second place by lap 4 in race one, but with a crash in race two finished in 3rd. He still holds a healthy second place in the championship standings. Alex Snow was striving to find his best form this season finishing a disappointing ninth in race one and sixth in race two. Riding his RM-Z250, Lewis contested the British four-stroke championship against a field of 450’s, earning impressive 10th and fifth place finishes.
The team will now enjoy a two-week break from racing and will be fresh and raring to go for round four of the MX2 European Championship in Sweden on May 20th."
So ... see you in Sveeeden ... if not ... Langrish on June 3rd. Until then compadres. Keep it No Half Measures.
