Strong ride for Edmondson in Muntjac

Paul Edmonson began his 2009 British Enduro Championship challenge in style over the weekend aboard his newly liveried Suzuki GB RM250.

The Muntjac Enduro, organised by Diss Club, turned out to be a great season opener, with the competition hot from the start. Edmondson closed to within six seconds of the leader, David Knight, eventually finishing fifth overall, third in the E2 class and the only two-stroke rider in the top ten - quite an achievement considering the big bikes of the opposition in the E3 class.

Fast Eddy rode well without any serious problems or mistakes and was always in the top five as the lead constantly changed hands.

Edmondson commented, ‘It was tough, fast and as ever, unpredictable. I am very pleased with fifth place and third in class but even more pleased to be the top 2T rider in the whole event. The Suzuki ran well and I am pleased with both my own and the bike's performance.’
