Brands Hatch first race of the 2009 season

Three Races... one winner, but it wasn't a walk in the park. The free practice on Friday already posed new challenges for Rhalf: heavy rain and a new shock absorber. Nevertheless after adjusting the suspension, the bike was handling well for those circumstances.
The first qualifying session was a success with Rhalf finishing on pole, but the bike wasn't handling well due to the change in weather conditions. More adjustments where required for the second qualifying session and the problems escalated when the chain snapped during the second lap resulting in him abandoning the session. However Rhalf had done enough to secure pole in his category.
He then went on to win the first race of the season in style, ending Saturday on a high !
Sunday demanded a lot of the riders by extend the 2 races by 3 laps. The First Race was tough. On the first lap Rhalf was almost taken out by another rider but managed to maintain first position. He retained a good gap between him and his rival, but on the last laps this had narrowed considerably and Rhalf went on to win the race by a bike length. A race not for the weak-hearted !
The second race was difficult, but with a great start and his main rival out on the sixth lap, Rhalf won the race with a 16 second gap. Not bad at all !

                     Great start for the season...    GO Rhalf GO...
