What a weekend for Billy Askew.
We’ve backed Billy since his 85cc days, and seeing him take his first ever professional moto win was a proper proud moment for everyone at Kecks. Despite a first-turn crash in Race 1, he fought his way back to 6th, showing serious grit. But it was in Race 2 where he truly shined — grabbing the holeshot and leading every lap for a dominant win.
His 6-1 finishes earned him 3rd overall on the day and his first-ever pro podium.
Billy said:
“I felt good out there. It feels like it’s been a long time coming — I knew I had the pace, just needed to put it together. That win’s definitely going to give me some confidence heading into the next round. Hopefully more of the same next time out!”
The overall win went to Bobby Bruce (2-1), with Tommy Searle taking second (2-3) after consistent rides across both motos. But there’s no doubt all eyes were on Billy in that second race.
