McLean, who made his road race debut
at the Cookstown 100 in 2015, finishing third in the Junior Support race,
notched up 76 points in the scoring system, based on the Championship races run
yesterday.
Fifth in the Open A race,
followed by a second in the Moto 3 class, second in the Supersport 600
race, before taking a well-deserved win in the Supertwin race was enough to
give the McAdoo Racing/Hanna Motors rider the coveted Man of the Meeting award
for 2018.
Speaking of his award, Adam had this
to say, “This is bit of a surprise, brilliant, that was a difficult day for
everyone, and a sensible approach was needed thankfully the Cookstown Club
had that foresight to call it a day, I know it was disappointing, not only for
the riders, but also for all the race fans but, Man of the Meeting, that’s
super”
The race meeting was abandoned following
a series of spills, but fans were treated to some excellent racing before the
rain came, thus causing long delays, with safety in mind, the organizers
delayed races, but unfortunately time was running out, and the Clerk of the
Course pulled the plug at 6.30pm. I am glad to report, that the
injured riders are OK. Owen Graves was hospitalized, but following x-rays, no
broken bones, just severe bruising.
