Gas Gas UK Enduro Team – Ashley Wood British Enduro Championship 2010: Round 3, Hafren Enduro 5&6/06/2010
(Article Posted: 2010-06-08)
This weekend saw Gas Gas UK rider Ashley Wood put in another strong performance at the Hafren Enduro, Mid Wales. Finishing the first day in seventh place overall and third in E2 class Wood engaged in a fierce battle with Midwest Husaberg’s Ollie Moyce. With the course to his liking he pushed hard throughout the day, beating Moyce on three of a possible seven tests although a small mistake on the final test saw him slide from fifth to seventh position. Forecast rain arrived over night and had dampened the opening motocross test but Wood was out for the kill and set some stunning times as the day wore on. Again a small mistake saw Wood drop down the results table and he was forced to settle for twelfth overall and sixth in class.
“Overall I’m happy with how my weekend has gone; Saturday was a better day for me although I was gutted not have beaten Ollie into sixth place. My bike was perfect over both days and the course was one of the best I’ve ever ridden. Sunday didn’t go as well as I’d hoped but I was pushing just a little too hard and the front end washed out on one of the tests towards the end of the day. It was frustrating but there’s nothing I can do about it, I know I had the pace so I’m happy with that.”
Results: Day 1: 1: David Knight (KTM; 2: Greg Evans (KTM); 3: Paul Edmondson (Suzuki); 4: Daryl Bolter (KTM); 5: Edward Jones (KTM); 7: Ashley Wood (Gas Gas)
Day 2: 1: David Knight (KTM); 2: Greg Evans (KTM); 3: Tom Sagar (Suzuki); 4: Daryl Bolter (KTM); 5: Paul Edmondson (Suzuki); 12: Ashley Wood (Gas Gas)
