Josh Gotts and his TM Moto 4T 300Fi EN machine had a day of small falls and casing jumps!, eventually blowing out his rear shock mid-way through the day, this saw Josh firing-up his his very tricked-out 2T 125 MX machine to complete the last ‘sprint’!. Josh ended the day in 10th position overall in a very stacked championship class.
