James Chases Bike Title
By Hayley Cross AUGUST 13 will see local teenager James Westmoreland travel to the North Yorkshire circuit of Croft to contest in round ten of the British 125 championship.
The 18 year old from Sproatley near Hull has not had the best of starts to 2006 season but is hoping to amend his luck by becoming British 125 champion. After narrowly missing out to the title last year, James is currently running third in the series after completing just four of the nine rounds so far.
Winning at Mallory Circuit.
鈥淚鈥檓 doing a really good job and I鈥檓 really happy with how everything is going. It is fantastic to get back out on track and to be on the podium鈥 he explains.
James started the season contesting the British Supersport Championship with Trucklinks Honda, but had to withdraw from the team and was forced back into the 125 championship. He is hoping to rejoin the Supersport series next season and is expected to be getting consistent top five results.

鈥淚鈥檓 really excited; Croft is a circuit I really like. It鈥檚 a local track as well so all my friends and family are going to be there cheering me on鈥
