Harry Potter wins the Tri-Wizards Tournament

Donnington Park is home to wet weather, bad teeth and bitter, bitter disappointment for British motorcycle race fans. Never before had a Brit won at the perennially damp and dingy UK circuit.

But that changed when Scott Redding, a 15 year old rider in his debut 125cc year won an action packed race from championship leader and ‘veteran’ 20 year old Mike Dimiglio. Another 15 year old Mark Marquez from Spain completed the podium, the diminutive Repsol rider managing third after an intense battle with some well known 125cc stalwarts.

Scott Reading and Mike Dimiglio both had early challenges in the race, Redding chasing down leader Ionone from as low as 6^th and applying pressure. Ionone buckled with 9 laps to go, a front end lose at Hollywood handing Redding the lead in front of 75,000 British fans.

Mike Dimiglio had a horrendous start and slipped as far back as 19^th before his fight back. The championship leader setting the fastest lap of the race on his way into second position.

Under British law, neither of the two juniors were allowed to sample the podium champagne. Marquez was unfazed, largely because he is too small to pick up the large novelty bottles, and neither was Redding , who found Dimiglio to be a caring and sharing opponent come post race celebration time.

Virtual privateer Mike Dimiglio leads the 125cc championship on 132 points from Simone Corsi on 109 points.
