BSOLAR Sponsored Rider Makes Progress at Thruxton

BSOLAR sponsored BSB rider Geoff Lapworth again qualified 23rd at Thruxton, this time finishing 22nd in an incident packed and red flagged race. Having narrowly escaped a flying bike on the first lap the race followed the pace car for three laps. Upon the restart Geoff lost a place but regained it and caught the group in front.

This group contained all the riders from 16th to 23rd placed and Geoff was the fastest rider amongst them. From this event Geoff now knows that he has the speed to finish in the top 15 and the points. Given that the bike is 40hp down on the top bikes in the class, this result at such as high speed circuit as Thruxton is especially pleasing.
