Red Riders blast to 1-2-3 in cross-country

Posted: Thu 03 May 2001

Paul Whibley, Ben Harding and Peter Broxholme annihilated the opposition in Blenheim, finishing 1-2-3 overall over the weekend of 28th and 29th April.

Whibley (CR250), showing he is still the man to beat, was followed closely home by new Blue Wing Honda Red Rider Ben Harding (CR250), with Peter Broxholme a brilliant third on the CR125. Broxholme was leading the race on lap 5 when he punctured, forcing him to pit for repairs.

Race team manager Dave Borlase said: ‘The results the Red Riders are posting are nothing short of sensational, and Ben Harding’s inclusion in the team has strengthened our already formidable lineup.’
