British U-21 Final Teenage sensation Tai Woffinden went two rostrum places better than last year’s impressive bronze finish by powering to the 2008 British U-21 Championship. Looking so impressive in the main twenty race programme, the 17 year old dropped just a single point in his five scheduled rides, to main challenger Lewis Bridger in his final outing. He then withstood tremendous pressure from 2007 Rocket Adam Roynon in a Grand Final which was re-run after Bridger had been excluded for bringing down Ben Barker while duelling with Woffinden for the lead. Last year’s Silver medallist William Lawson and former Rocket Steve Boxall – freshly back from a dislocated shoulder – were both eliminated at the semi-final stage. Woffinden is the second Silver Ski Rocket to win the crown, following in the footsteps of 2005 Champion Edward Kennett, and becomes the first rider to hold this title and the British U-18 crown simultaneously. An added plus is that he is automatically seeded to the Semi-Final stage of the World U-21 event, and will take his place in the Rye House round on Sunday, June 15th. At the other end of the scale for Rye, Danny Betson spent some time in the track ambulance nursing leg and shoulder injuries after rearing and falling driving off the fourth bend in Heat 12. He was eventually released with bruising, but took no further part in the meeting, although worse was unfortunately to befall him the following night.. Danny Halsey, meanwhile, weighed in with three points, finishing ahead of Sean Stoddart and Betson in Heat 7, and Lee Strudwick in his final race, while Strudwick beat out former Raider Harland Cook in a terrific tussle for his only point of the night in Heat 5. Scorers from main 20 heats: Tai Woffinden 14, Lewis Bridger 13 (both straight to Grand Final), Adam Roynon 13, William Lawson 11, Ben Barker 11, Steve Boxall 10 (3rd-6th to Semi-Final), Joe Haines 9, Jack Roberts 8, Josh Auty 8, Lee Smart 6, Charles Wright 5, Sean Stoddart 5, Danny Halsey 3, Harland Cook 2, Lee Strudwick 1, Danny Betson 0 (3 rides). Semi-Final: (both to Grand Final): Ben Barker, Adam Roynon, William Lawson, Steve Boxall (fell). Grand Final: Tai Woffinden, Adam Roynon, Ben Barker, Lewis Bridger (fex). Congratulations to Tai on this tremendous achievement, and the best of luck now for the World Semi-Final at Rye House on June 15th. |
