Robert Lynn
With Sunday May 15th marking both the opening round of the Irish Enduro Championship and also the third round of the Southern Centre Enduro Championship, it was again another successful running for Area 51 Racing’s Robert Lynn. Entering the Glendalough enduro, Lynn had already posted second at the two previous and was hopeful for his run of success to continue. With three 60km loops but only three timed special tests to contend with it, it would prove to be a long but crucial days racing. Although rain hampered course conditions the majority of riders stayed clean on time leaving the special test to be the deciding factor of the results. Posting three very consistent times within three seconds of each other wasn’t enough to take the day win leaving Lynn second overall for the third time running! This solid start to his 2011 season now leaves Lynn currently leading the Southern Centre Enduro Championship.
Meanwhile teammate Ryan Callaghan continues to show top form in the Great Stuff Catering Motocross Championship. Competing in the Grade B MX1, Callaghan now sits second overall but only three points adrift of the championship lead. With the series continuing this Sunday, Ryan will be eager for more success.
Robert Lynn: “Glendalough turned out to be another good result finishing second. Overall I felt I rode strongly all day and only made some small mistakes here and there but managed to keep them to a minimum. It’s becoming a little frustrating to keep finishing second but I’ll take it as they come. At the minute I’m now leading the Southern Centre championship so with more races left to run this year hopefully I can bag that win I want! I’d also like to thank Shark helmets and TCX boots for their support this season”
Robert’s next race will be the Husqvarna ACU British Sprint Enduro Championship May 28th/29th.
