Paul Edmondson has won the John Banks Enduro the final round of the Motul British Enduro Championship although he was pushed all the way by Chris Hay and Darren Bolter. Paul Edmondson is the outright British Champion as World Champion David Knight was under contract to ride in America. There was a hard frost on Sunday morning which made it risky to push hard in the first test. Paul did not have it all his own way as he overshot the corner at the end of the fast straight on the second test, Chris Hay back on form, took the lead by two seconds although Daryl Bolter was a close third as he was quickest in the second test. The pressure was on to finish the
course clean on time as the Banks is always tight on the last lap. All the top riders made it round on time so it was back to the special test for one last run through to determine the winner. Daryl Bolter was the first of the top three through and set the pace, Paul then set a blistering time using all his experience to finish seventeen seconds ahead of Daryl Bolter. Chris Hay set off and new the pressure was on through the forest, unfortunately he could not match Paul's pace and had to settle for second 10 seconds down, Daryl Bolter third and Ed Jones finished a close 4th place. Kevin Murray finished 10th just ahead of Ricky Mair. Ricky started carefully as he crashed and knocked himself out in similar conditions at the Brecklands earlier this year. Ricky was riding his tuned bike which was proving difficult to handle on the ice covered track. Richard Hay finished clean on time in 14th place which is a brilliant result considering he was still in Africa on Saturday morning. Richard flew back to Aberdeen packed his bike and his family into his van at 4pm and arrived at the track at 2.00am on Sunday. Rumour had it that he walked the test before settling down for the remainder of the night.

In the Expert Class Steven Pettitt won with Robert Warner second despite being the bravest in the first frosty test. Oliver Moyce fell in the first test but held on to third place.

In the Clubman Class it was business as usual for Ashley Wood, fastest in both tests, he has won the E1 Clubman Class with six class wins. Early season leader Paul Chatham could only shadow Ashley and hope for a mistake which did not materialise.   Jamie Roper finished 4 seconds down in 3rd place, Chris Nunn was 4th and outright Clubman and over 40 Champion Graeme Naismith 5th. Jamie Padget finished 7th clinching the E2 Clubman Class.
