Paul Whibley has just finished 4th 'OVERALL' at the weekends superb 'HAFREN' Enduro which was the British Round of the European Enduro Championship. Firstly a huge congratulations to everyone at the Hafren Dirt Bike Club for a superbly organised event.
With Paul scoring World Championship points in 2005 he wasn't eligible for European Championship points so he was riding in the 'INTERNATIONAL' class with David Knight and Paul Edmondson. He finished 4th both days and 4th overall for the weekend.
As expected David (simply awesome) Knight won the event winning all ten special tests beating runner up Paul Edmondson by nearly 1.5 minutes over the ten special tests. Third place went to the very impressive American KTM rider 'KURT CASELLI' who impressed everyone,especially his 'air-time' at the final MX test on Sunday afternoon!
This superb result for Whibz is probably his best 'Time Card' Enduro result of the year, only 48 seconds behind Paul Edmondson after ten tests (4.8 seconds a test slower) which proves he is now gaining confidence with his Gasser after a slow start to the season.
Paul rode consistantly all weekend with no crashes and no bike problems. Just a new MICHELIN and a few filter changes was all that was needed on the Kev Hipwell prepared EC250. It's a shame it wasn't a British Championship round because he beat B.E.C. riders, Euan McConnell and Ryan Voase who were 1st and 2nd in the Senior E2 class.
Pauls next event is the French Round of the W.E.C. this coming weekend. Pauls next UK event is the 4th round of the FAST EDDY RACE SERIES @ Culham on Sunday 7th August.
