The mud sticks at Motocross.....
11th April 2022

Well done to all those who organized the Guernsey Round of the 2022 CI Moto-X Championship.
Also our local riders who did us proud by leading from the front! Nice one guys and gals.
Another big thank you (ha, ha) goes to whoever filled me in with sticky mud on Saturday.... note to self: Stand further from the track next time 🙂
I was at the holeshot and probably didn't take my normal interest in the condition of the bend. I had a very short time available on the first day as I needed to get away to photograph two football games.
I made the rookie mistake of not allowing for the bigger than usual number of bikes heading into the holeshot. Inevitably some had to take a wide line hitting the puddle of very sticky mud on the outside of the track launching it in my direction!
The outcome of this splattering was a very muddy photographer including two cameras and lenses. I had to leave the racing early and make a quick return to home for a change of clothing and a hose-down of my kit!
But luckily I have a short memory and on Sunday I was back trackside for more pics. This time there was less mud too!
I've added a full Gallery of the pics I took on my website if you are interested. Click on this link:
