British Sprint Enduro Championship: Searles Training Compound - report, results and gallery
By Team TMX on 25th May 22
A last-minute move from Preston Docks to the Searles Training Compound in Cheshire worked like a charm for the Fast Eddy team as they absolutely blew the bloody doors off with the latest two rounds five and six of the British Sprint Enduro Championship.
The STC facility is one of the UKs many secret off-road treasures and the Fast Eddy team was able to come in and construct a truly breathtaking course that suited all levels of rider. The multi-surface special test utilised a spacious grassy bank, some woodland going with steep climbs included and a large flat area of hardpack clay that offered a very different challenge to what was planned for the Docks.
Overnight rain made conditions slick for Saturday mornings opening test. While the majority of the entry got a sighting lap, the Championship riders went in blind.
Manxman Jed Etchells showed his class from the off as the Junior world championship contender went out and put in a fine display of riding not doing anything too flashy but covering the ground at a pace that no one else could beat.
Enduro Youth hotshot Harry Edmondson and European Championship contender Dan Mundell both pushed hard to try and knock Etchells off the top spot but it just couldnt be done. Edmondson took a pair of second-place finishes in the E1 class behind Etchells over the weekend while Mundell took top E3 class honours.
Jack Rowland and Sam Winterburn traded E2 class wins while Aaron Flash Gordon took the runner-up spot on both days with some very aggressive riding on his booming 450 Yamaha.
