Magic MX2 winning weekend for Tommy Searle in Donington -ozzy go- ktmpress.com

Tommy Searle, the 18-year-old Briton for the KTM Red Bull MX2
Racing Team made his dream come true on Sunday just a few
kilometers from his home town when he clinched his maiden GP
victory at Donington Park.

On a day when clear blue skies heralded a fine day for
competition at the famous British racing circuit, Searle, who was
second in the first moto, made sure of victory in the second for
overall top podium place. He went through the checkered flag
almost eight seconds ahead of second placed Jeremy Tarroux and
clocked his fastest lap in lap 15 of the 18-lap race.

The victory vaults Tommy into second place in the season’s
standings behind Antonio Cairoli who already took the title last
weekend in Moneyglass, Northern Ireland. With just one Grand
Prix to go in the Netherlands and several of Searle’s toughest
rivals, including his teammate Tyla Rattray, out with injuries, he
now looks certain to finish in second place at the close of the
season. “It was a perfect day for me. I was not so worried after
coming second in the first moto because I put all my efforts into
the second heat. “I was struggling today with the lines but I tried
to do my best,” Searle said. click on ozzy go to the full story
