After Tom's disappointing weekend at round 2 of the BEC, Tom's mind was set on a good result in round three, hoping to continue his fight for the E2 title.

After a week of rain the Dyfi enduro was set to be a wet one, that it was, due to heavy rain on the Friday, day one was cut short and reduced to three laps.

Tom set out on his mission, beating Suzuki's Paul Edmondson on the first lap by 1 second. Tom knew he needed to extend his lead over Paul, to gain valuable points for the class title. Tom pulled a further 3 seconds over Paul on the second lap and another two on the third lap. This was enough for Tom to finish 2nd overall to David Knight (Kawasaki) on the first day.

I am happy with my first day's results, I just need to do the same again tomorrow and hopefully have the same result if not better

On the second day the course had dried out and the sun was shining.

Tom managed to place himself 6 seconds ahead of Paul on his first test but had dropped down into 4th overall with Daryl Bolter (KTM) and Greg Evans (KTM) just in front by 3 seconds.

On the second test Tom managed to move himself back into 3rd overall behind Daryl. Tom knew that he needed to pull and good time out of the bag on the last test and that's what he did, he pulled himself ahead and finished second overall and first in class.

Im really pleased with my results this weekend, I had worked really hard to recover after my injury in Knighton, and luckily my hard work had paid off, the course has been really tough this weekend, the weather really didn't help. A brilliant test which had everything in it, trails which suits me, a little bit of motocross and plenty of woods. Thanks again to all of my sponsors and Midwest for all of their hard work.
