SUZUKI DESERTMARTIN RACE UPDATE
Jun 2008
Suzuki's officially backed Motocross teams made the trip across the Irish sea at the weekend for round five of the Maxxis British Motocross Championship held at Desertmartin near Cookstown in Northern Ireland.
Following domination of the result sheets at the last round at Lyng in Norfolk, where the Suzuki teams recorded multiple podium finishes across both classes, it would be Brad Anderson of Team Suzuki Swift and Carl Nunn of Suso MVR-D that would make the podium visits this time, with a well-earned third place in the first MX1 race for Anderson and the same result for Nunn in the first MX2 race on-board the RM-Z250.
With Anderson and Nunn recording solid results in both opening races, Relentless Suzuki MX rider Jamie Law would be the other strongest Suzuki rider in MX1, taking a solid eighth place in race one and ninth in race two, to finish the round in eighth overall.
In MX2, the usual Suzuki torrent of top-ten finishers was to follow Nunn home, with no-less than four more RM-Z250s inside the top-ten in race one, with Jason Dougan in fourth, Marcus Norlen in sixth, Lewis Gregory in eighth and Jake Nicholls ninth.
In the final MX2 race, a further four more Suzukis would complete the top-ten with Nunn missing out on a podium spot in fourth, Dougan in fifth, Lewis Gregory in seventh and Marcus Norlen in eighth.
