Cumbermack Reflects on Iconic Thruxton Circuit
|
|
Bermudian motorcycle talent Jediah Cumbermack reflected on a high-speed learning curve and encouraging pace following a dramatic weekend of racing at Hampshire’s iconic Thruxton Circuit.
Making his debut at the fastest circuit on the British calendar, the youngster quickly adapted to the technical demands of the high-speed layout, battling through grid penalties and race incidents to showcase genuine front-running pace.
Grid penalty hurdles in Race 1
Cumbermack's weekend got off to a demanding start during qualifying when a technical issue with a melting tyre sticker forced him to start from the rear of the grid for Race 1.
Despite the setback, he launched an aggressive recovery ride, carving his way through the pack to salvage a 14th-place finish.
"My first time racing at Thruxton was a weekend I won’t forget," Cumbermack said. "From the moment I went out for FP1, I immediately fell in love with the circuit. It’s fast, technical, and challenging. The main challenge throughout was finding the right gearing and getting everything dialled in.
"For Race 1, I had to start from the back of the grid after my tyre sticker melted off in qualifying. Despite that, I got a decent start and managed to work my way through to salvage P14. It gave me valuable experience and something to build on."
Heartbreak in Race 2 lead battle
Starting from 12th on the grid in Race 2, Cumbermack mounted an immediate charge, slicing through the order into ninth place during the opening laps.
After running wide and dropping slightly off the pace, the Bermudian regrouped to battle his way back up to 11th, remaining in touch with the lead pack contesting the podium positions.
However, his race came to an abrupt halt at the final chicane when contact with a rival ahead forced him out of the contest.
"Going into Race 2, I was ready to fight," Cumbermack added. "I made a strong start and worked my way up to P9 within the first few laps. I made a mistake and dropped back, but I regrouped and fought back to P11. I was still within the lead group and could see the riders fighting for the win.
"Unfortunately, going into the final chicane, I clipped another rider after they made a mistake, which forced me to sit out the remainder of the race. It was a disappointing way to end, especially knowing I had the pace to fight at the front, but there were plenty of positives. It was a huge learning experience, and I showed I have the speed to run with the lead group."

Divine Finishes 14th at the Thruxton Circuit
|
|
Bermudian motorcycle racer Aeziah Divine wrapped up a fiercely contested second day of racing with a hard-earned 14th-place finish, in the R&G Moto4 British Cup at Hampshire’s iconic Thruxton Circuit, praising his team's support ahead of the next round at the iconic TT Circuit Assen.
In a tightly packed field, the teenage talent found himself locked in an intense mid-pack battle, trading positions in a large group contesting seventh place.
Despite mounting a late charge in the closing stages, Divine was unable to carve a path through the traffic and took the chequered flag in 14th.
"I had good battles during the race in a big group that was fighting for P7," Divine said. "I tried to push hard for the last few laps, but couldn’t make many overtakes, and crossed the line in 14th."
The Bermudian was quick to highlight the efforts of his garage and support network throughout a demanding race weekend.
"Big thank you to the team, I honestly couldn’t do it without you guys," Divine added. "Thank you Alvaro Castagno Ubeda and Dicko, and of course my mechanic Tomas, for supporting me as always."
Divine now turns his focus toward preparation and refinement ahead of his next test on the international stage in the Netherlands.
"I’ll be working hard between now and the next round. More to come at Assen."

Divine Competes on Iconic Thruxton Circuit
|
|
Bermudian motorcycle talent Aeziah Divine reflected on a demanding but productive outing as he continued his campaign in the R&G Moto4 British Cup at Hampshire’s iconic Thruxton Circuit.
Competing in the ultra-competitive junior development class, the teenager showed solid pace throughout the event despite battling track temperatures and tyre degradation at the fastest circuit on the UK racing calendar.
Divine qualified 14th on the grid after encountering difficulties stringing together a clean slipstream lap when separated from the lead pack.
"Overall it was a productive day," Divine said. "Qualifying started off well while being in a group, but the second I lost touch of the group I wasn’t able to get slipstream and struggled to get a lap in and finished in P14."
In Race 1, Divine held his ground during a combative opening phase before severe tyre drop-off in the heat hampered his late-race progress.
"The start wasn’t the best, I didn’t make up any places off the line, but I worked hard to stay with the group at the start of the race," Divine added. "Unfortunately towards the end I didn’t realise how much the tyre drop-off would be from the heat, and I had a few moments which started to slow me down and I lost touch of the group ahead of me."
Divine will look to take the lessons from the opening race into the remainder of the race weekend as he continues his development on the British circuit.

Divine Suffers Late Crash in R&G Moto4 British Cup
|
|
Ryan Frost prevailed in another titanic battle to claim victory in the second R&G Moto4 British Cup race of the weekend at Silverstone, maintaining his lead at the top of the championship standings for Fibre Tec Honda-By MLav Racing.
In a dramatic contest alongside the MotoGP event, a relentless 12-rider lead pack fought for the win right down to the final laps, with Frost eventually holding off his rivals to seal a hard-fought win.
Bermuda’s Divine Reflects on Bittersweet Weekend
It proved to be a weekend of high drama and misfortune for Bermudian rider Aeziah Divine, who showed tremendous pace before a crash ended his charge in race two.
Starting from 23rd on the grid in race one, Divine produced a brilliant fightback to carve his way through the field and finish 11th. He carried that momentum into race two, battling in the front group before a front-end crash ended his race prematurely.
"A roller coaster sort of weekend at Silverstone was wrapped up today with another strong step made and lots of positives to walk away with despite some hiccups," Divine said after the race.
"Some recent bad luck struck again with another tricky race this morning. I pushed hard to stay with the leading group and was able to have some great battles within it for the first half of the race.
"Unfortunately, coming into one of the hard braking corners I started to have a lot of chatter and tucked the front. Sadly I couldn’t save it and took a good friend out with me. Really sorry you got caught up in that, Henry."
Despite the disappointment, Divine remains upbeat about his overall progress over the weekend.
"Despite the challenges, there are positives to take away, including working my way up to P11 from P23 in race one, then running well in the leading group for the first time in race two."
