FLINT WANTS MORE

GREAT Britain youngster Leon Flint says his Cardiff experience over the weekend has made him even hungrier to take the next step in the sport.

Flint had his Berwick team-mate Chris Harris in his support crew for Sunday’s SGP2 event where he scored nine points and was classified seventh in the event, following on from his outings as a track reserve in the senior GP on Saturday.

He said: “Obviously I am hugely disappointed that we didn’t go the distance as I would have gone into the semi-final confident after that Heat 19 win.

“I went through all the emotions on the day, highs and lows. Usually I am my harshest critic but given time to reflect on the weekend I am really proud of myself, even more so when I see the kind messages from people saying I have made them proud.

“I feel that I have proved that I belong alongside some the best riders in the world. What I want now is to compete against them on a regular basis.

“Hearing everyone screaming my name in the stands gave me the boost I needed and made me realise even more just how much I want this. I don’t intend this to be my only Cardiff appearance.”
