Sagar dominates DYFI British Enduro

Suzuki's Tom Sagar dominated the fifth round of the Metzeler British Enduro Championship aboard his RMX450Z at the weekend, winning the E2 class on both days at the Dyfi event in Wales.

The Team Putoline Suzuki by fasteddyracing.com rider needed a good performance to keep his Championship hopes alive and set about it in the best way possible, winning the opening seven-hour day at the challenging event.

A carbon-copy result on day two put Sagar back in the hunt for the title and he now just needs to win the first day at round six to take the Championship.

Tom Sagar:

"That was more like it. After the disappointment at the last round I knew I had to win both days to get a grip on the Championship again. The bike ran superbly and now we have a bit of a buffer as we go into round six."

In the E1 class, it looked like the Fast Eddy team would dominate proceedings there too as Paul Edmondson won day one by a convincing 14 seconds, but missed-out on the win by just three seconds in Sunday's six-hour event.

Paul Edmondson:

"I'm actually a little disappointed with my result this weekend. A first and second is great, but I've given myself some work to do at the next round now, as I'll need to win both days if I'm to take the E1 title. But big congratulations must go to Tom who rode superbly all weekend and put himself firmly back in the championship hunt."
