Taddy heads the 'field
By TMX Archives on 5th Nov 09
SHOWING exactly why he recently wrapped up the 2009 US AMA Endurocross championship, Polish indoor enduro star Taddy Blazusiak made a perfect start the 2010 Indoor Enduro World Cup series by winning all three finals at the opening round of the championship in Sheffield.
I did exactly what I hoped to do, explained a thrilled Blazusiak after the race. I got the fastest time in timed practice, won my heat race, and then won all three finals. It's been a great night for me, and the best indoor enduro track I've raced on.
Making all of the track's challenging obstacles appear easy, Taddy looked instantly at home on the rock littered circuit, and when he moved past fast starting US KTM rider Mike Brown shortly after the start of the first of the three finals, it was clear that Taddy was going to be hard to beat.
