Me and missus were staying at Cronk Asshen that year and watched his progress all week through the practices, every once in a while somebody comes thru and you think they stand out from the rest , the lad was good and was not surprised he won his newcomers race.
We were in the grandstand that day and missus took some cracking pics of lad getting his award on the podium, how gutting it was to hear that awful announcement.
