SUZUKI DOMINATE TOP TEN AT CANADA HEIGHT
Mar 2008
Suzuki GB’s officially backed teams were flying the flag in style on Easter Sunday with top-ten results galore in both MX1 and MX2 classes at the Canada Heights track in Kent.
In the MX1 class, Team Suzuki Swift’s Brad Anderson continued his run of good form on-board the new RM-Z450 by turning his 5th place qualification spot into a fourth place in race one, and a well-earned runner-up spot in race two behind eventual round winner Billy MacKenzie. Brad would leave Canada Heights with a impressive second place overall on the day, a place higher than at the opening round a few weeks earlier.
In MX2, Suzuki’s dedication to the class would be repaid, with no-less than four riders finishing inside the top-ten in race one alone.
Race one would eventually be won by Shaun Simpson, with Suso MVR-D’s Jason Dougan just missing out on a podium position with a fourth place finish. Following Jason home was team-mate Carl Nunn in fifth and the Team Suzuki Swift pairing of Elliot Banks Browne and Pascal Leuret in sixth and ninth respectively.
By race two, Pascal would be the strongest Suzuki mounted rider, taking his Team Suzuki Swift RM-Z250 to a solid 5th place, a position he would claim in the overall rankings too. Finishing one place higher overall on the day was Jason Dougan, with Elliott Banks Browne in seventh and Carl Nunn completing the story in tenth.
The teams will be back out in action at round three on April 13th at Torrington in Devon.
