Motocross round-up: Darren Banwell faces strong challenge at Halberton
Shepton Mallet Suzuki star Darren Banwell is the current leader of the experts class in the South West Off Road Motocross Championship, and he will be intent on consolidating his advantage in the Chard club’s round at the Tiverton Moto-Park at Halberton tomorrow.
However, it will not be an easy assignment as the line-up also includes 2011 title holder James Kensington, as well as Gary Norman, Ryan Allen, Mike Rowe, Ben Butler and Kelvin Townsend.
Leading contenders in the senior class races include Ryan Stonier, Tallon Veale, Olly Savery and Andy Watkins, who dominated the class races in last weekend’s round at Moreleigh in Devon. With no fewer than 21 races to complete before dusk it has to be a 10am start coupled with slick organisation throughout the day.
The West of England club are staging the only round of the South West Enduro Championship outside of Cornwall, at Wolborough Barton near Newton Abbot the same day.
