The first big international motocross of the season was the Hawkstone Park International (at least for those who don’t speak Italian), came with severe weather warnings and rain that lashed the track and turned it into a mudfest. As with all storms, be they hurricanes or drizzles, the weathermen named this one”Storm Ciara.” It hit Shropshire just as Jeffrey Herlings, Glenn Coldenhoff, Shaun Simpson, Thomas Covington, Evgeny Bobryshev, Adam Sterry, Tom Vialle, Jago Geerts and a host of top riders were getting ready to slug it out for victory in the 250 and 450 classes. MotoHead.com’s Adam Duckworth was there to capture all of the action and a really bad cold. It goes with the territory.
