FURTHER BRITISH SUCCESS IN HUNGARY

John Collins, Chairman, ACU Trials & Enduro Committee is delighted to
inform you of the success the fifteen British riders achieved at the
second round of the European Enduro Championship held in Hungary last
weekend. These included the six members of the ACU U23 Enduro squad.

Whilst there was atrocious weather at home, the UK riders faced 3
laps of 73km each day, in searing heat and dusty conditions!

Squad members Daryl Bolter, Si Wakely and Greg Evans were on a
mission, with Bolter winning the Senior E1 class on the first day, Si
Wakely took 2nd place in Junior E 2/3 and Greg Evans rode superbly to
take 2nd place in Junior E1.

These results combined to give Great Britain an excellent second
place in the Nations Championship on Day 1.

Of the other Squad members Oliver Moyce recorded 8th place in Junior
E2/3, Lee Edmondson 18th in Junior E1, but unfortunately Jamie Paget
was forced out with mechanical failure.

Day 2 was the same again, and the results were again impressive.
Daryl made a small mistake in the final test and this dropped him to
2nd place in S1, with Wakely and Evans repeating their runner- up
positions for us to finally see three Brits on the podium picking up
three-second place awards. The Czech Republic over took the UK on Day
2 to take the runner up National spot, but third place for Britain
was an admirable achievement for these three young riders.

Other UK places over the two days included:

Ed Jones: 7th & 9th Senior E1
Dylan Jones: 11th & 12th Senior E1
Robert Jones: 12th & 10th Senior E1
Ashley Wood 19th & 21st Junior E1
Lee Edmondson 20th & 18th Junior E1
Darren Carter 22nd & 19th Junior E1

Gavin Houston, David Brick and Gethin Price were gaining valuable
European experience and rode well to lose no time penalties on both
days.

Julian Crimp finished Day 1 in 19th spot in Senior E3, but was forced
out with injury on the second day.

In conclusion an excellent weekend for the British contingent, who
now look forward to the next European round on 18/19th August in
Finland.
