LANGDALE 07 ENDURO - ROUND 2 HUSQVARNA NEEC ENDURO CHAMPIONSHIP Sunday the 13th of May saw the 2nd round of the HUSQVARNA NEEC, head to Langdale near Scarborough, where the Ryedale Motorcycle Club ran their first event of the year. The weather was kind and the rain stayed off until the end of the race making a good but as always tough event. The course was around 20 miles in length of true cross country nature with one tight but flowing special test. The championship class rode 4 laps as did the experts, clubman and over 40s 3 laps and the sportsman 2 laps. At 10 30 the small championship class set off to tackle the day, at the end of the first timed test it was MPS Racing's Si Wakely who had the advantage, from his team mate Gav Houson and Justin Wilson in 3rd. The second lap was the same with Wakely really learning fast the NEEC style tight cross country tests, showing exceptional speed and skill aboard his Husqvarna. The ever improving Gav Houson also Husqvarna was following Wakely-s lines and improving every test, and Justin Wilson, dirtbike trax KTM was riding smooth and consistently just couldn't seem to separate the MPS Racing teamsters. However on the last lap things changed at the top with Wakely crashing heavily in the tight trees and loosing the advantage he had on the other riders, he did well to get up so quick after a big off, This meant that the young Gav Houson stole the win over his team mate and Justin Wilson stayed in a solid third. David Myers finished 4th and Keith Readman 5th.
