TEAM SUZUKI ENDURO RIDERS FIGHT FOR CLASS WIN
Round three of the British Enduro championship was held in the Hafren Forest in Wales at the weekend, where Putoline Suzuki by fasteddyracing.com riders Tom Sagar and Paul Edmondson both held onto second place in their respective classes.
With the two special tests being held on contrasting surfaces, one on grass and very flat, the other though woodland, Paul Edmondson contested the E1 four-stroke class, taking the lead on the Saturday. He took it a little too steady on day two, however, and didn't allow himself enough time to pull back, losing the lead to Daryl Bolter.
A small crash on the first day for Tom Sagar put his time back slightly, but he was able to ride strongly on day two and with rival Greg Evans within his sights, Sagar was just pipped to the post and remains in second in the E2 class.
Paul Edmondson, team manager, commented:“With great track conditions we all had some good racing. We moved the ignition switch on Tom's RMX450Z to ensure it wouldn’t get caught if he had a crash. However, he took a tumble on day one and dislodged the switch, which unfortunately lost him time, but with two rounds left we are still in with a chance of claiming two class wins. Also, well done to Lee Edmondson again, who managed to get eighth overall on day one and took two seconds in the E1 two-stroke class.”
The next British Enduro championship round - the 'Knighton Enduro' - is on July 10th and 11th in Wales.
