It certainly was a day to remember for the 13 year old Corey Lewis, as the young man from Hereford took both Refined Recruitment 125GP finals in impressive style.
Saturday saw him set pole and control the race from the front finishing 8 seconds ahead of John Lea and defending champion Freddie Nickless. Sunday however saw a very different race as Corey went head to head with Luke Harvey. Harvey had suffered his 125 seize during free practice on the Sunday morning, but frantic work from the team got him out for the qualification race and post the second fastest time to start alongside Corey on the front row.
The two of them were barely separated by more than a couple of bike length’s for the 8 lap final, but going into the last lap Harvey on his Excel RS125 hit the front. Corey sat and waited in his slipstream for the full lap and concentrated on getting himself in the best position to get through the Russells Chicaine for a good drive up the slightly uphill drag along the Senna straight to the flag.
Harvey was concentrating on defending his position so was not as quick through Russells, and Lewis out dragged his rival to the line after a better exit from that final turn to take it by 0.2s. that’s less than half a bike length !.

For his weekends efforts Corey was awarded the rider of the weekend trophy to take home. Coreys brother Jay was down at Brands for the BSB 125 race, where he gained a seventh place, and it is Corey’s plan to be racing at British level with his brother in ’09. With a number of loyal sponsors already onboard including SL Heating, NW Powerpoint, Dave Bushby Plant hire and G Pollit along with Shark Helmets and TCX. A lot for people already have shown faith in the young man who won the NG F125 series last year and is already looking good for the 125GP series win this year.
