2 stroke Raw: Round 2 of the British championship at Preston Docks with a full gate of 125s!

The second round of Britain’s first full 125 two-stroke championship for many years kicked off at Preston Docks with some incredible action. The Apico 2-Stroke festival British 125 championship sees adults and youths competing together for the crown, and again it was the young guns that led the way. It was a clash between the opening round’s double race winner Josh Vail, straight off the 85cc bikes this season. And Yamaha’s Jamie Keith who pushed him in both races at the opener. This time it was first blood to Keith, despite dropping it on the penultimate lap. He managed to hold off the hard-charging Vail who pulled through after crashing own the first lap. And second time out it was another clash of these two youths, with Keith leading but Vail skilfully reeling him in and making the pass to take the overall. Third was Matt Bayliss, who was the winner of the adult class, from James Margetson. Damon Stardom and Jake Walker, who was third youth home. Vail still leads the overall championship from Keith, Charlie Richmond and Ollie Bubb. Enjoy our raw edit with no music or commentary over the race action!
