Sagar storms to Tough One podium

Suzuki’s Tom Sagar continued his strong form at the weekend, as raced to runner-up spot behind David Knight at the annual British Tough One Enduro at the Nantmawr Quarry in Shropshire.

Qualifying for the Kriega Hot Lap start that saw the 10 fastest qualifying riders make a special start, the Putoline Suzuki by .fasteddyracing.com rider was quick from the off, chasing Knight and running a comfortable podium pace throughout much of the race, before moving up to second spot and cruising to the finish on the final lap.

Sagar said: "I was pretty comfortable throughout the event and chased David right up until the final lap when I realised my position was safe and backed off. I chose to ride the all-new RM-Z250 for this event, which was ideal for the tricky conditions and general nature of the Tough One. I'm really looking forward to getting back on the RMX450Z for the first round of the British Enduro Championship this weekend."

Team Manager Paul Edmondson added: "A big congratulations must go to Tom for his result at the Tough One this weekend. His preparation for the event was faultless and went into it with the right attitude. Equally, on the final lap he realised that his position was safe and cruised to the finish, mindful of the first round of the British Enduro Championship this weekend."
