A right dirty weekend in Devon!…
Sunday, April 13, 2008
The third round of the Maxxis British motocross championship took place in Devon at a muddy Waggadon Farm near Torrington but that didn’t deter SUSO MVR-D Suzuki from putting on a super performance with three riders finishing in the top seven overall in the MX2 class.
Jason Dougan was back on top form - in race one Jason put in a solid performance to finish in fifth and in race two Dougan eclipsed his race one performance with a superb second to land him a well deserved third overall on the day his best performance of year thus far.
Marcus Norlen is beginning to look like a class act, after only a few months racing in the UK the young Swedish rider put in yet another fine performance finishing seventh in moto one and improved by three places to fourth in moto two to secure sixth on the Suso MVR-D Suzuki.
Carl Nunn added the icing on the cake for the team securing seventh overall with an 8-7 scorecard, chasing Marcus for most of the race Nunn was hampered by back markers and dropped back from fifth to seventh after knocking his ankle in a tight corner.
Team Manager – Mark Chamberlain
“Today was a great day for everyone in the team, Jason, Marcus and Carl were outstanding and for all three to finish within the top seven is a huge achievement for one team.
Our bikes were outstanding in such tough track conditions; we are now looking to take this performance onwards into the rest of the season. The only sour note was a possible injury to our youngest team member James Cottrell in race two.
We now travel to Spain next weekend for the second world championship event of the season and I’m sure better things are to come.”
