The second round of the Red Bull Pro Nationals took place at Whitby on Sunday the 7^th June. Heavy rain over the previous few days actually contributed to the track being in near perfect condition.

Qualifying

Qualifying was split into two groups with Jordan and Nez both in group two. Jordan posted 3^rd fastest with Nez in 6th.

Race 1

Nez gated well and was soon in 6^th right on the tail of Jamie Law but as he pushed a little too hard to get past the Cumbrian he lost it in a rut at the far end of the circuit and was demoted to 9^th. He was still riding really well and was soon on the back of Scott Columb and Alex Snow but again he dropped it in a rut relegating him down the order. To his credit he never gave up and rode hard to the flag, eventually bringing it home in 10^th.

Jordan had a terrible start as his bike bogged on the line and was near the back as he exited the first corner. He stormed through the field up to 10^th but to no avail as his bike ground to a halt for a disappointing DNF.

Race 2

Nez had a poor start down in around 25^th as the pack made its way round the first lap, however he was riding with real confidence and picked his way through the field to finish in 7^th at the flag.

Jordan was all fired up to show his hometown club what he could do after his first race DNF but as he fired up the start straight Elliot Banks-Brown clipped the front wheel of Mark Jones who went down right in front of Jordan and with nowhere to go he hit the Welshman’s bike flat out launching him over the bars in the process. As he started to pick himself up he was hit hard in the head by another bike, leaving him in a heap on the floor. After being helped to his feet, to everyone’s amazement he jumped back on his bike and set off trying to bridge the gap to the rest of the field. Giving everyone else over half a lap head start definitely wasn’t part of the plan but Jordan turned in the third quickest lap times throughout the race behind Nunn and Noble which enabled him to claw his way up to 20^th at the finish.
