Sagar storms to Tough One podium

Tom Sagar's strong form continued at the weekend, as the Putoline Suzuki by fasteddyracing.com rider took a great runner-up spot, behind David Knight at the annual Tough One event held at the Nantmawr Quarry in Shropshire.

Qualifying for the Kriega Hot Lap start, that saw the ten fastest qualifying riders make a special start, Sagar was quick from the off, chasing Knight and running a comfortable podium pace throughout much of the race, before moving up to second spot and cruising to the finish on the final lap.

Sagar commented, "I was pretty comfortable throughout the event and chased David right up until the final lap, when I realised my position was safe and backed off. I chose to ride the all-new RM-Z250 for this event, which was ideal for the tricky conditions and general nature of the Tough One. I'm really looking forward to getting back on the RMX450Z for the first round of the British Enduro Championship this weekend."

Team manager Paul Edmondson was out in action on the Sunday too in the Wilden MXC Championship, finishing inside the top-ten and commented, "A big congratulations must go to Tom for his result at the Tough One this weekend. His preparation for the event was faultless and went into it with the right attitude. Equally, on the final lap he realised that his position was safe and cruised to the finish, mindful of the first round of the BEC this weekend."

The team will now prepare for the first round of the British Enduro Championship taking place this Sunday at Thetford Forest.
