AFM 2016 Round 3, Thunderhill

Miles was excited to be at Thunderhill for the first time on his new bike. He knows Thunderhill pretty well and was excited to let the 450 stretch its legs down the long straights. Saturday practice went well and it gave Miles a chance to get the bike dialed in (with the help of Catalyst Reaction and Dunlop, of course!) The track was a little slow this weekend, so it was going to be a challenge for Miles to get a new PR, but he was generally happy with his lap times and ready to race!

It was a pretty warm weekend, so it was nice to have his races early in the day. First up was 450 Production. Miles felt like he was riding well, but could tell there was some room for improvement. He got a decent start, but lost a few places over the first few laps before the race was stopped with a red flag. The restarted 4-lap race yielded a similar result with Miles ultimately finishing in 8th. Miles ended the day with a 10th in 450 Superbike and a 15th in Formula IV. He was liking the 450 bike, but it was definitely taking some getting used to.
