Great start to the 2026 season and the first race weekend on the new Aprillia.

Qualifying: Still learning the new bike and put in a decent qualifying time putting me in P8 for race 1.

Race 1: Made a mistake on the last corner which meant I overshot and got stuck in the gravel so I couldnt finish the race but at least I learned the bikes limits.

Race 2: P1 in race 2 for the first 4 laps in the rain but unfortunatly due to an incident the race was stopped. As race didnt go full distance no result was officially declared. It was a pity as I had a decent lead but these things happen.

Race 3: I was determined to make a strong finish to the weekend and finished on the podium with a P3 in what can only be described as tricky conditions.

The main thing was to bring it home in one piece and get ready for my road racing debut in just 2 weeks time at the Cookstown 100
