British Enduro heads to the homeland of motorcycling with rounds three and four of the national series taking place on the Isle of Man.
Getting a serious taste of enduro action, the road racing capital of the world replaces slick tyres with knobblies as some of the best in the game get down to business this August weekend.
Over 150 competitors have signed up for the trip to the Isle of Man ready to compete on the stomping grounds of David Knight and the McCanney brothers.
With his double win at the series opener, Beta’s Steve Holcombe has command of the points lead but Knight and McCanney won’t favour playing second best to him on their home turf.
With a wealth of course knowledge, they’ll be more than ready to bring the fight to Holcombe, especially with the chance of a home win up for grabs.
On a roll following the recent crowning of his first world title, Jack Edmondson will be knocking on the door for a podium result, as will Tom Sagar, Josh Gotts and Jamie Lewis who sits third overall in the points standings.
Thomas Ellwood leads the Expert class from Jake Gowan and Richard Ely. James Jackson was the maximum man at the opening rounds and leads the Clubman class. Gleans Jones tops the Ladies category with Russell Millward in charge of the Vets Over 40s.
With the start/finish area located at the TT grandstand, riders will start and finish on the TT pit lane. The Clerk of the Course Nigel Beaumont and his team have planned a course that uses a 5 mile road section to exit the town of Douglas where it will pick up a 25 mile lap consisting of plantations, a quarry and open off-road going.
There are 3 checks planned per lap with 2 refuelling points, it is likely that the Championship class will be completing 4 laps per day. The lap will see two special tests, test one will be located in the plantation on day one then moved to another location for day 2. Test two for both days will be a cross-country type test that will be reversed for Day 2 of the competition.
Both special tests will be easily accessible for spectators and support crews with no more than 5 miles between the tests when travelling directly on the open roads. Both Tests will be available for walking from Wednesday evening.
The excellent facilities provided by the amazing backdrop of the TT Grandstand offers camping with plenty of hard standing, fixed toilets and showers. The Grandstand located on the outskirts of the Manx capital, Douglas, is a 30 minute walk into the town centre where the competitors and support crews can expect to find all the facilities provided by a large town.
