1st & 2nd for ATV World Yamaha at Holsworthy

ATV World Yamaha riders John Mitchell and Paul Holmes enjoyed a fantastic round 4 of the IOPD British Quad-X Championship on the 4th August at Holsworthy in Devon. Qualifying in second place, John suffered from a rear tyre puncture in race one but kept an awesome pace to finish in fifth place. In the second race, John took the lead and won with 12 seconds to spare!

Paul Holmes took fifth in qualifying and took off in race one at an incredible pace, taking the fastest lap. Paul was riding in spectacular fashion as he made his way to a third place finish. The second race had a fast pace for the front runners and Paul showed true commitment to finish again in third place.

John won overall with Paul coming second. Both riding on the ATV World Yamaha YFZ450. John had been using the new factory Elka suspension on his bike and commented afterwards: “They worked perfectly as soon as we put them on and they look much tricker than the standard Elka shocks. The new adjuster on the shocks made a good improvement on absorbing bumps on the initial part of the shocks stroke.”

Thanks again for all the support from sponsors who along with their outstanding products have helped develop the team race quads for the 2007 season.
