Team CLS Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit enjoyed another successful racing weekend, as both Tommy Searle and Max Anstie shared the honours at Hawkstone Park. Tommy won the MX2 class in this traditional pre-season International event, while Max celebrated his first success on his home soil in the Pro class by winning the super final.
Hawkstone Park is one of the legendary tracks in the United Kingdom, home of numerous GP's in the past and still famous due to its hosting of this prestigious International event. The hillside circuit is rough and demanding, but that was not a problem for Tommy who dominated the MX2 class on his KX250F and posted consistent fast laps to earn two other wins after his success at Lacapelle and Sommières.
He was again leading the super final – the 250 riders started this last race four seconds ahead the 450 riders – when he heard a strange noise and retired in order to avoid any possible damage to his bike. It was a perfect opportunity for Max, who was in second position and took the lead of the race. Pushing hard during the last part of the heat he claimed his first win "at home" for some time and completed the overall success of the team which will now move to south of France for the third round of the French series in Pernes les Fontaine.
Tommy Searle: "I felt easy and comfortable in Hawkstone, where I posted fast laps to lead the MX2 class twice. It could have been a perfect day as I was also leading the super final, our bike is amazing and I feel ready for the GP's now. We have one more race next week in France, it will be great preparation for us."
Max Anstie: "Everything is going well, and I was so pleased to race in England! I had a lot of fun in practice where I qualified in fourth just behind Tommy, Osborne and Tonus. In the first race I was in third position when they put out the red flag, it was a good result for me. Then, in the second heat, I was in fourth position but in the last five laps I had a small problem.
In the super final I had no such issues I pulled away a few seconds in front of the other riders. It was a great feeling to win this race at home ahead the 450 of Ramon, Leok, Simpson and Desalle. I'd like to thank everyone in the team for their support, everyone is working hard and there's a great atmosphere."
Jean Jacques Luisetti, CLS Team Principle commented: "It was another good weekend for us, we're very happy so far with both riders who work hard while training and confirmed on race days how fast and consistent they are.
We were happy to meet Ben Townley, who had just arrived in Europe and was giving sound advice to Tommy and Max during the weekend; Ben is still recovering from his injury and it was a pleasure to see him with us. He is still working hard to rebuild his physical shape, and will be back on his bike only when he is 100% ready."
