British Enduro Championship Round 1 Race Report


Category: General
Posted by: Jack Stringer

On arriving at the Thetford forest Friday afternoon the team we met by the Clerk of the Course, Andy Waters, who informed us that the event maybe cancelled if the high winds that were forecast for Sunday arrived, fortunately for all teams and riders who made the long journey to Norfolk this was not the case but heavy and persistent rain was the order of the day.

5th in E2 class and 9th overall was a sound start for Ollie Moyce who was a little bit disappointed with his overall result which found him starting the day in 27th position on the start list and not in the top 10 seeded riders from last years championship but he quickly proved he deserved to be included in the seeded start list with his 9th overall.

“My test times throughout the day were not too bad but due to the weather conditions and having to pass slower riders on the going I ended up crashing quite heavily and losing a minute. If this hadn’t have been the case then I would have been further up the overall results. The bike was running perfectly as always and the team were a great help. I would like to thank everyone who was there to help and support me”

21 year old, Jamie Paget, again was not completely happy with his final result of 3rd in E3 class and 18th overall finding the very heavy conditions difficult to adjust to at the moment after his transition from riding a two stroke for the last 2 years.

“more time on the bike and adjusting to the huge amounts of power the 570 Husaberg produces should bring better results in the future. I had a slight misfire during the latter stages of the enduro so I rode conservatively to preserve the engine and ensure a finish”.
