REPORT: Hol for leather
By TMX Archives on 20th Aug 15
Beta UKs Steve Holcombe was the pace setter for rounds seven & eight of the ACU Edmondson Racing British Enduro Championship at the Freestyle Bikes Tarenig Enduro set in Llanidloes, Mid Wales.
Based at the Llanidloes Rugby club, the Freestyle Bikes Tarenig enduro turned out to be a very popular event with riders, teams and spectators.
Organised and run by the Hafren DMC and Aberstwyth Enduro club, the event boasted a brilliant paddock and parc ferme and two very different special tests.
Test one was based on the fields near the paddock and test two was a boggy moorland test at the Glangwy Caravan Park.
Looking comfortable on the grassy terrain of the Tarenig, Steve Holcombe charged on to an incredible 13 second victory on day one ahead of the Manx duo of David Knight and Jamie McCanney.
Returning to a top four position, Freestyle Husqvarna's Joe Wootton had another strong day of racing and finished 10 seconds up on reigning British Enduro Champion, Tom Sagar.
On Day two Holcombe again was victorious ahead of the Manx duo.
Jamie McCanney managed to better his day one result with a runner-up position aboard his Bel Ray Factory Husqvarna in front of KTM UK's David Knight. Tom Sagar moved up to fourth on Sunday and Jamie Lewis finished fifth.
"I'm happy to have finished on top of the BEC podium again” said Holcombe.
"I was a little disappointed with my results from Knighton a few weekends ago so it feels great to return with a double win here at the Tarenig.
The Beta felt awesome on the grassy special tests which were really fun to ride. It was a great weekend and I loved it.”
In the Expert class, Jake Subachus was the man to beat on his MPS Racing Sherco winning both days ahead of some tough competition.
It seems Jake is now the man to beat in this hotly contested class after a lengthy spell running up front.
Adam James had his best result so far this year on day one with a second place finish while David Herring brought home third.
On Sunday it was Thomas Ellwood who took the runner-up position and David Herring again took third - his fourth consecutive third place overall.
Alex Walton was on a flyer in the Clubman class on his little KTM 125 as he took the win home on Saturday and Sunday.
