Torrential rain and standing water in Newbury challenged the Summer Cross title. Max Darnton got away well the at the start of the U14/16 race but suffered a dropped chain the first time down the bumpy main decent. He was passed by five riders whilst getting it on but the set back flicked a switch and Max rode his socks off. He caught up all of those who had gone by him and he just kept going.
His strongest ride of the season so far finishing 7th overall and 4th U14. Finished up absolutely covered in mud and grass with a huge smile on his face. Now to figure out how to flick that switch without a mechanical!
