Welsh 2 Day & Latvia European Round
Welsh Two Day Winner - Dan Mundell
European Championship winner - Jed
Etchells
Once again it was a brilliant weekend for MRS Sherco
riders, following on from the team's successes in the recent British Enduro
Championship and the British Sprint Championship.
Factory supported MRS Sherco rider Dan Mundell won the most
prestigious enduro in the UK by taking an outright win at the Welsh Two Days
Enduro on his Factory 2.5 SEF Sherco. This event started in 1951 and has gone
from strength to strength and this year had an entry of over 500 riders.
Run by the Mid Wales Centre the event started from the
iconic venue of Llandrindod Wells where the event covers over 300 miles of
riding and caters for every level of rider. The Welsh Two Day Enduro is the
equivalent of the Scottish Six Days Trial in the trialing world and it was a
fantastic event for Sherco to take the win.
Meanwhile out in Latvia young Jed Etchells was flying the
Sherco/MRS flag on his Factory 3.0 SE 2T where he finished first in the E2/3
class. Jed has come on in leaps and bounds this year and we are confident his
results will keep improving during the season.
Dan Mundell -
"Crossing the line of the final test at the Welsh Two Day knowing you've
won it for the first time is an awesome feeling. I'm really happy to win both
days and take the overall and E1 victory at this years edition of this
beautiful race. I can't wait for next year! A huge thanks to everyone who
helped me, gave me a cheer and to the organisers."
Jed Etchells -
"Yessss!! My first European win! I'm so happy after a long tiring weekend
in Latvia in the sun. On Saturday I had a good battle throughout the day and
ended up second, I felt good on the bike but I knew I had a little room for
improvement. On Sunday I started off with a really good test, unfortunately I
slipped off on the second test and lost a few seconds but managed to gain them
back during the day. It all came down to the last test and I just let loose and
was able to get the win with a six second lead! Massive thanks to all my
sponsors I really appreciate all the support so far this season, you guys make
it possible."
