How much is that?

Results from this meeting below: Stoke's only amateur meeting of 2014 saw a win in the open class by former Potter Shaun Tedham. A maximum and fastest lap (66.3) in a competitive class let Shaun show his experiance. (Shaun elected not to take his first place trophy as he has ridden as a potter in the previous year) In the run off for second Cam Hoskins came out ahead of Krystian Bialecki, both having finished on nine points, Krystian in his first visit to Stoke. The intermidiate class saw Bradley Seal storm to a full maximum, being in a great race with Trevor Bebbington thier final heat, this helped him also clinch the "Rider of the Meeting" award, picked by the meeting referee. Steve Cook also entertained on his classic two valve Jawa in some great races early on with Trever Bebbington. The novice class saw action aplenty with numerous crashes, falls from Harry Gent, Matt Sewell, Chris Ball and Mike Cowley all put paid to thier chances of scoring big points, the stand out rider in the class being Eryk Borczuch in his first ever meeting. Second overall went to the hard battling Danny Wright, and third to Damon Hall. The Youth 125/150 was decided by run-off after both Dan Thompson and Jamie Halder finished on 11 points, with Dan running out winner. Dan's brother Joe took third place overall. The youth 250 saw reigning word 125cc champion Kyle Bickley beating both Kean Dicken and Tom Miles to take the honours. Sam Chapman was the only entrant in the Youth 500 class, traditionally a small class as riders must be 14 to ride the 500, but once they are 15 can ride in the adult classes. Sam completed two races but suffered bike problems in the second half of the meeting. A big thanks go out to all at Stoke Speedway who help put the meeting on and allow us to run these meetings.
