Superprestigio

Alan competed for the 4th time at the Superprestigio event at the Palau Sant Jordi Olympic arena, Barcelona, alongside such names as Marc Marquez, top USA rider Brad Baker & 10 world champions.
Alan struggled a little with bike setup and hectic first corners in his heat races. To make the finals he needed to win the LCQ race, and was leading it until the race was stopped 2/3 in. In the restart Alan lead again but with the last lap flag in sight another rider came underneath him knocking him off and out of procedings. 
Alan also took part in a slide and trick demonstration with Brad Baker, USA - Masatoshi Ohmori, Japan - Ferran Cardus, Spain. The atmosphere inside the arena was great and overall the event was a great experience.
