Sagar switches to Enduro 1 class
By TMX Archives on 26th Oct 07
NEWLY-crowned British Enduro Champion, Tom Sagar, will compete in the Enduro 1 class at this year's International Six Day Enduro in Chile and not the E2 category as originally intended.
In all probability, Tom will compete in the Enduro 1 class in next year's WEC series for KTM, with the ISDE giving him the perfect opportunity to compete in the class for the first time before officially making the switch.
Although having already sent a 450 KTM to Chile ready for the event, Tom will be given Juha Salminen's factory bike, which is also on its way to la Serena, to compete on as the seven-time world champion will compete in the Enduro 2 class aboard Samuli Aro's bike following the Finn's withdrawal from the event with injury.
I'm really looking forward to competing on the 250cc four-stroke, commented Tom mid-week. I've not ridden one much but I have Juha's British championship bike now so I will be able to spend a little bit of time on the bike before going to Chile.
