SAGAR WINS PUTOLINE XC2
Putoline Suzuki by www.fasteddyracing.com rider Tom Sagar, added yet another victory to the growing list for the new Suzuki RMX450Z, by winning the second round of the Putoline XC Championship, held at Buildwas, near Ironbridge in Shropshire yesterday.
Leading a quality field of Pro riders right from the start of the 2.5-hour race, Sagar continued his run of blistering form around the technical four-mile course, proving that the new RMX450Z really can take taking everything in its stride.
Sagar: “This event was a great opportunity to try the new bike in really technical and challenging terrain and it came up trumps. I knew it had plenty of grunt and flat out speed but it showed me today just how well it can handle the tight stuff too. The smooth power delivery was spot on for the many gnarly uphill climbs through the woodland sections, which became very rooty in places, but I always felt there was plenty of grip.”
Team manager Paul Edmondson:“Another great result for Tom and the RMX. The crucial factor to this is how comfortable he feels with the new bike. He’s able to ride within his limits and still take victory, which is clearly very positive as we get ready for world competition in the coming weeks and of course the second round of the British Enduro Championship before that.”
