Tommy Searle Bids For Home Glory -ozzy go- superbike-news.co.uk

Tommy Searle has his sights set on a Donington Park double in
the penultimate round of the World Motocross Championship on
Bank Holiday Sunday to keep him firmly on track for the runner-
up spot in the final standings.

The Red Bull KTM rider, who makes his home in Tonge, the
adjacent village to the Leicestershire circuit, has ridden bikes
since he was a five year old and as he prepares for what will be
his ‘home’ round of the 15 race MX2 series he had given the
specially crafted course the ‘thumbs up.’

He faces two races on Sunday afternoon that could be crucial to
his hopes – each race over the course with its yumps and high
leaping sections runs for 35 gruelling minutes plus two laps and
the opposition is the best, bringing the world’s elite riders, led by
the champion elect Toni Cairoli, into action.

Searle rode parts of the course, which has been built from some
50,000 tones of soil transported on to the infield section of the
Grand Prix venue, during a press pre-view event: “It’s very good,
will be a good test for everyone and should be really exciting to
ride - it looks really good, real fun. I’m excited about it already.”
