Podium on Horice Debut (17 May 11)

Davy along with Trudy and the DM#71RRSC 250cc Honda headed to the Czech Republic for his debut at the popular Horice Road Races with anticiptaion and a little trepidation of going in to the unknown. The weather was good on arrival and the circuit if not some of the safety precautions excited Davy on first viewing.

The first practice got underway on Saturday and was a bit of a struggle as Davy was finding it difficult to work out were he was going and found himself back in thirteenth place after the opening session. For the second session he got more dialled in to the circuit and eventually qualified in third place on the grid for Sunday's race.

The weather was changeable on Sunday so it was intermediate tyres for the start of the race and it was a good start as Davy led from the off and was looking good for a race win until the race was red flagged for an incident. On the restart it was slick tyres as the road had dried out, it was not as good a start and Davy found himself in second place behind the eventual winner who was riding really hard so Davy kept his distance and at the chequered flag he was 0.9 seconds back to finish second.

Speaking on his return to Northern Ireland, "It was an enjoyable weekend, and on the whole both Trudy and myself enjoyed the experience although there was a bit too much partying for our liking at a race meeting. The circuit itself was very good as it had a bit of everything, but the safety set-up was a bit worrying so i did not push too hard. I don't know if i would go back in the future as it was expensive enough for just one race outing, but it is another thing i can cross off as done."
