Silverstone Holeshot

We had a feeling that the 4th round of the Red Bull Pro Nationals was going to be something special for Cobra as we rolled into Silverstone as part of the Air Asia British Moto GP. The all new Silverstone motocross circuit witnessed some incredible racing, particularly on Saturday night! Although the track was far from ideal, the event itself was a success with many of the Moto GP fans enjoying their first motocross experience.

Dylan Woodcock Headed toward his win.

The MCF and Silverstone knew it would be tough to get a new track perfect in its preparations as it was only finished a week prior to the event, but that couldn’t stop the tight racing in all the classes, and the road bike fanatics that came over to check the event out were impressed.

With a race programme designed to fit around the Moto GP schedule, the weekend was spread out over three days with the Pro class, the Fuchs-Silkolene 125cc British 2-stroke riders, and the Elite 65cc class.

After six races over the weekend, cool cat Dylan Woodcock took the overall win in the 65cc class ahead of his Cobra teammate Ryan Vickers. Vickers set down a marker in qualifying as he was 5 seconds clear but several crashes in the first race had him playing catch up for the rest of the weekend on the smooth Woodcock who looks every bit the motocross star with his long hair and Supercross style! The ever improving Harry Wichman took third and as the weekend went on became more of a threat to the Cobra pair to take the final step on the podium ahead of Drew Warren. Dee-Jay Walker made it three Cobra’s in the top six with a creditable fifth place while Jaydon Murphy battled hard all weekend for the final sixth place trophy.

Dee Jay Walker Railing It!
