Hawkstone International

Door is open for a new champion in MXGP

Posted on Facebook this morning by his parents.

Thank you ever for you kind messages.

Ashden had a horrific accident yesterday at Hawkstone International MX as I was first one there the state of him will haunt me for life!! I thought I was loosing him.
Hawkstone medics done an amazing job 🙏.

Transferred to Shrewsbury hospital Ct scan showed internal bleeding and two breaks to his spine and damage to his spinal cord no movement in his right side and being told there’s a chance he’ll never walk again.

I have never felt so much pain in my life seeing him like this!!! 

Rushed to stoke spine specialist had an mir scan straight in to theatre for 6hrs find out the break was worse then they thought plated over 8 vertebrates. This morning he moved his toes 🙏🙏. 

Ashden is going to have to work harder than ever now. Please get behind this boy he needs it
Xxxxxxxx

That’s terrible to hear, but great he’s moved his toes already. Hope he recovers to live a healthy life.

What happened with Dylan Walsh? Off in practise?

Bike failure in both motos apparently.

Man this f'n sport. Helped me through a bunch of shit, but I've seen it ruin way too many people too. I'm hoping for the best for this kid. 🙏 

I was disappointed in the rider turn out yesterday, the racing great though. 3 big hitters in MX1 & none in MX2. Haruup wasn’t riding for whatever reason. I’m surprised Searle didn’t ride as he’s teammate was (Walsh). Thrope’s team never seems to do this event. 

You’re telling me they haven’t practised this in the off-season??

Overall

1/ Calvin Vlaanderen = 1/7/2
2/ Gregory Aranda = 3/3/3
3/ Thibault Benistant = 2/8/5
4/ Valentin Guillod = dnf/1/1
5/ Benoit Paturel = 6/2/9
6/ Stephen Rubini = 10/5/4
7/ Adrien Malaval = 5/9/6
8/ Mathys Boisrame = 8/6/8
9/ Jimmy Clochet = 7/10/7
10/ Pierre Goupillon = 4/4/dnf
11/ Kevin Horgmo = 11/11/12

Benistant and Horgmo are the only 250 riders in the top 10 (Boisrame and Rubini racing 450's)

Encouraging signs for Guillod, seems to be having a bit of a bounce back in his career. Will be interesting to see how he does this year in MXGP 

Last time I went to Hawstone.

Eric geboers i???

Yep

If that was the second race , i was on the left halfway up, same place i watched the last race yesterday, quick sprint to the car and get out. 

We were both in the same place all those years ago. 

That’s pretty amazing. I spent most of the 1980’s traveling to races in Europe. Based in England and travelled there 20 times between 1980 and 1988.
