The fourth round of the Maxxis British Championship took place at Hawkstone Park, Shropshire on 14^th June. Both the track and the weather conditions were excellent.  

Qualifying

Rose qualified in 8^th with himself and the other seven in front separated by just ¾ of a second. Parker enjoyed his highest Maxxis qualification of the season in 14^th.

Race 1.

Both riders had poor starts and at the end of the first lap Rose was 14^th with Parker in 18^th. On lap four Rose pulled into the pits with an injured knee and was to take no further part in the race.

Parker had made his way through to 14^th and was now catching Jamie Smith and Jamie Law and by lap eight he had passed both to move up to 12^th but Smith wasn’t going to go down without a fight and actually gained the place back before Parker finally saw off his challenge on the thirteenth lap. He managed to pick up another place before the end as Scott Columb hit the dirt and finished in his highest position in the British Championship in 11^th.

Race 2

Rose went to the line with his knee strapped up and managed to struggle round for a brave 15^th at the flag. Parker had an awful start down in 35^th as they exited the woods and after fighting his way through to the top twenty by the second lap it was looking good for another great result. However the worsening track conditions really took their toll on the youngster and he had to fight for all he was worth just to get to an 18^th place finish at the end of what he found to be a tortuous race.
