Paul Holmes maintains his
winning ways!
Paul Holmes is very pleased with the
performance of the new 2008 team quads. |
Paul Holmes was showing his champion
credentials this bank holiday weekend with two
wins at rounds four and five of the IOPD British
Quad-X Championship, strengthening his lead at
the top.
The championship’s fourth and fifth rounds
took place at the Foxholes track in Wiltshire.
Held over the bank holiday, round four took
place on the Sunday and started well for Paul
Holmes as he qualified in first place by over
two seconds!
In race one Paul started well but suffered a
tyre puncture. He nursed his quad round the
track and held off the competition to finish in
second place. Race two saw Paul take the
holeshot and dominate throughout the race,
winning and finishing first overall in round
four.
On the bank holiday Monday, Paul powered from
fourth to second place in race one, closing
within a second on the lead. He then took the
holeshot in race two. Never looking back, Paul
steered his ATV World Yamaha YFZ450 to a
comfortable first place, finishing with a 15
second lead.
Paul said: “I’m really pleased with my
results so far this season. I’m up against the
best UK riders and getting podium places week
in, week out. I have been putting the hours in
at the gym and feel fitter than ever! It really
makes a difference, particularly on the rough
tracks. The ATV World Yamaha YFZ450 has been
superb. It’s been so well developed for 2008 – I
can’t fault it! The boys at ATV World have done
a fantastic job.”
Paul Holmes has now won overall at every IOPD
British Quad-X Championship round, firmly
placing him at the top of the leader board.
Next racing for Team ATV World Yamaha will be
the EMX Quad European Championship round one on
the 11 th May 2008. Held at the famous MX track
in Brou, France. With ATV World Yamaha rider
John Mitchell keen to retain his European title,
Paul Holmes looking to improve on his third
place in last years competition and Sean Goss
entering for the first time, it’s going to be an
exciting event!Thanks again for all the support
from sponsors who along with their outstanding
products have helped develop the team race quads
for the 2008 season.
