The final race of the 2023 Moto3 World Championship before summer break was in the Netherlands at the TT Circuit Assen. This weekend was filled with hot conditions and stands filled with enthusiastic fans.
Friday started strong for Josh, who was only a second and a half behind the front runner and was placed in 24th position.
On Saturday, the qualifying session showed immense growth in both riders. Josh almost made it to qualifying two, but the crowd was tight, and he qualified in 23rd position.
Sunday only means one thing, race day… Sadly Josh made an unfortunate mistake trying to move through the group and crashed out of the race.
There was a lot of positive progress this weekend and Josh continues improving and learning more with every race. The next race is in 5 weeks, on home ground in Silverstone.

“I made some moves on the fist lap and was in the group, but crashed whilst trying to make more progress. It’s been a big step from me and the boys this weekend. We’ll continue like this at home!”
