What a weekend it’s been for our club riders at the Brits!! The weather did its best to spoil it but the riders went out there and put in some fantastic performances on track.

It would be fair to say the kids on the campsite were definitely living their best life hanging out together while the adults relaxed with a drink or two with DJ Staines providing the music!

We have come away with a new British Champion, Sophie Thorpe. Her first Brits in the girls 6&under and absolutely smashed it to take the title. Fantastic! 👏🏻👏🏻

A shout out to Elsie for making her first Brits A final yesterday, well done! 👏🏻 👏🏻

Top 8 results:
British Champ: Sophie Thorpe
British No.2: Charlie D, Noah, Alfie, Harry, Tyreese
British No.3: Amelia, Charlie D
4th: Seren, Ellis
5th: Seth
6th: Jack
7th: Mara, Elsie

The club has finished 4th overall which is a fantastic achievement. A huge well done to every single Derby rider for your effort and commitment this weekend.

Thank you to Manchester BMX Club for hosting, it’s a huge undertaking doing the Brits and they pulled it off despite some very challenging weather.

The sun is shining for day two practice at The Brits, good luck to everyone racing today, go and smash it! 💥
