 Cornish
takes Manchester by storm
A determined Lewis Cornish totally dominated last weekend’s British Supermoto Championship 250 class by taking pole position and three straight wins. The Manchester Sportcity event was held within the grounds of Manchester City F.C. and drew a large crowd eager to catch some hi-octane action in the heart of the city. The sixteen year-old TRM Supermoto International racer quickly stamped his authority on proceedings during qualifying as he posted a blistering time to take pole position in front of his older and more experienced competitors. Despite a bad start in race one, Lewis out rode his rivals to take the lead and then went on to comfortably take the chequered flag first in all three races.

After
his three stunning victories young Cornish told the interviewing TV crew
that this was to be his last race in this class as the season’s budget
had been used up due to several expensive mechanical failures. “After
the last engine problem in Scotland I took a borrowed worn out, old MX
bike to the podium so I just wanted to go out and show here today who
really is the fastest rider in this class. We have had such bad luck
this season and this proves that if I'm on my own bike I'll win”.
Lewis will continue to race the rest of the season aboard a 450cc bike
at the British Championships and his Honda CRF 250 at the National
Championships.
