The second round of the British Enduro Championship took place at Lossiemouth in Scotland over the weekend and proved to be a very successful outing for the Relentless Suzuki Enduro Team.

Paul Edmondson piloted his brand new fuel injected Suzuki RM-Z450 to victory on both days in the E2 class and a first and second place in the overall standings, putting Edmondson back into the title chase.

With just a few days to prepare the new bike for the event, Fast Eddy was over the moon with the result. After preparing the machine with a lighting kit and softer springs the 450 never missed a beat. Edmondson hadn’t ridden such a large capacity bike for many years but took to it immediately as the results show.

Following a disappointing opening round of the BEC, Edmondson is right back on course in the series and looks set to go from strength to strength on the new bike.

Paul Edmondson commented, “I’m really pleased with the result this weekend. The bike was fantastic. Initially it was a culture shock going back to a big bike after so many years but the handling was spot on and the new fuel injection system really supplied the power when needed. I’m very impressed; I think that fuel injection is the way ahead after this performance.”

Paul continued, “The result has put me back in the running for the BEC, and after this weekend I feel I’ve got a good shout at putting in a string of good performances, especially with the Relentless Suzuki RMZ450 under me.”

Well what can I say.....?

Let’s just say the second round of the British Motocross Championships yesterday at the infamous Canada Heights sorted the men from the boys!
Not just the teams and riders either, the fans that braved the blizzard conditions and freezing cold to stay and support ....we salute you!
After a morning of snow flurries and an extremely wet & white looking track, the weather finally calmed down a bit for the 1st MX2 race.
The well established track at Canada Heights soon got torn up leaving a number of the sections of the track deeply rutted.
This didn’t put off any of the riders however and some brilliant performances were shown including some awesome riding by No. 24 Shaun Simpson who went on to take overall victory on the day.
Still recovering from Injury Relentless Suzuki rider Scott Probert put in a sterling effort and finally wound up in 11th place after a few unlucky incidents.

On to MX1 and once again Billy Mackenzie had an excellent start and kept the lead to take pole in the first race.
One rider that really caught our eye this weekend was 15 year old Scott Elderfield who put in an awesome performance on the day keeping our very own Brad Anderson on his toes throughout the whole race. After an exciting battle Scott finally took the flag in 5th place just seconds behind Anderson.
Anderson went on to take second overall in the MX1 class after following Mackenzie home in the final race, puting him firmly in second place overall in the general standings.

Despite the wintery conditions all in all it was a great day out with some of the riders putting in some world class performances.

For a comprehensive report on the days races head on over to www.britishmxchampionship.com/

Next stop for the British MX Championships is Torrington in Devon in two weeks time.....

The opening round of the 2008 Maxxis British motocross championship took place this weekend on the jump infested Donnington Park circuit with sole Relentless Suzuki rider Scott Probert flying the flag for the team on the RM-Z250.

Despite riding with an injured hand, Scott still managed to score points in both races despite not being able to practice since early February.

Two mediocre starts and mid field incidents during both races were overcome with a good turn of speed and some grit and determination to score points with a 17th in race one and 14th in race two.

Team manager, Rob Hooper commented, “Scott showed that he will be more than capable of finishing in the top 10 when fully fit. He put 100% into his racing today to overcome the pain and discomfort. I couldn’t have asked any more of him”.

The team hopes to be back to full strength with a full rider line-up for round two at Canada Heights in two weeks time!

As usual off the track the Relentless team were on site in force providing refreshment to the masses!

Taking in the views!

Owning the paddock!

All in all a great weekend.............Next stop Canada heights on Easter Weekend.

See you there!

After a successful re-launch of SW1 Productions, Relentless sponsored, Tuck Shop indie club night back in February with an incredible performance from The Courteeners this month it was all eyes on the tweed clad English eccentrics The Young Knives.

After local opener Hedluv (who had won a competition picked by the band for the opening slot) had warmed up the gathering crowd Johnny Foreigner came on and played a storming set that started the pre Young Knives frenzy.

Coming on stage in their uniform of ties and tweed The Young Knives fired straight into hit single ‘She’s attracted to’. With hilarious inter song banter and a set of new and old songs The Young Knives played a crowd pleasing set that they were claiming themselves as the highlight of the tour. They enjoyed it so much we hope to see them again in Cornwall before the end of the year, watch this space!

This weekend sees the first big events of the season for the Relentless motorsport teams.

Firstly Bradley smith will be competing in the first round of this years’ eagerly awaited MotoGP. The first round this year takes place in Quatar and will take place at night, which is a first for the sport.

Bradley has been showing some very impressive performances in pre season testing and has his sights clearly set on some podium finishes for 2008.

Bradley has been spending the last week or so preparing himself for the night race and the associated challenges that lie ahead;

"Before I left for Qatar, I sat down with my trainer to work out how my body would cope having to practice, qualify and race at such different times to normal with our race starting at eight o'clock at night rather than eleven o'clock in the morning. It's worked brilliantly and I've certainly been alert while riding but, once I stopped, all I wanted to do was get to bed."

A huge good luck from the team here at Relentless, and be sure to check back here for a full report on Monday.

The second installment of Relentless motorsport action comes in the form of the first round of the Brittish Motocross Championship in association with Relentless.

This year the first round sees us travelling up to the famous Donington Park.
More commonly known for its association with Tarmac racing Donington Park is no stranger to holding top class off road events with the newly created infield motocross circuit hosting last year’s British MXGP and in turn will welcome the MX of Nations later this season.

Despite a few unfortunate injuries within the team Relentless Suzuki will be there putting on a display of top class riding talent, with Scott Probert heading up the field

The Suzuki Swift team with Relentless will also be out in force with Brad Anderson hot on the heels of reigning champion Billy Mackenzie.

The Relentless street team will also be at the event providing energy and refreshment for the masses.

Just look out for the big can and make sure you come and say hello!

Be sure to come back on Monday for a full report!

The Suzuki Swift with Relentless Motocross team had their rider debut this weekend at the First UK motocross event of the season.
All four riders rode for the first time this year in readiness for the British Motocross Championship this weekend. The team were up against the best riders in the world and showed what we can expect this season.

MX2 rider Elliott Banks-Browne riding in his second season with the team had his best qualification ever with 4th place. New signing and Factory Suzuki rider Pascal Leuret qualified in 5th and Jake Nicholls also new to the team made finished 10th making it 3 Suzuki Swift riders in the MX2 top 10.

MX1

The new season has seen the team aiming for success in both MX1 and MX2 so when Brad Anderson riding his first UK race finished 6th in race 1 behind Ramon, De Dyker, De Reuver,Coppins and Phillipaerts the team had something to shout about as he was the first man home who will be riding at this weekends Donnington Park British Championship round and it will give both Brad and the team the confidence to go for the British Title this year.

MX2

A mixed bag for the boys as Leuret went down on the second turn pushing him down the field and although he fought back to 9th a crash ended his race. Elliott however rode a strong race against the best in the world to finish 10th and a good ride from Jake at the beginning of the race ended with him slipping down to 23rd because of a minor crash.

Next stop Donington Park this Sunday..... See you there!

Gallows played the exclusive NME awards on Thursday, along with the likes of the Cribs, Klaxons, Lightspeed Champion and the Manic Street Preachers.

It was a truly special night and the guys did a wicked rendition of Staring at the Rude boys with Lethal Bizzle. (watch some of it below)

The performance was dedicated to Paul Fox, guitarist of the Ruts who originally penned the aforementioned tune.

Paul died of cancer in 2007, and the boys handed out daffodils to the crowd after their performance as a symbol of respect and to help raise awareness for cancer victims.

The Great Daffodil Appeal takes place throughout March and the idea is to get everyone across the UK to give donations for daffodils and wear them with dignity. Every donation means more time for Marie Curie Nurses to spend caring for terminally ill patients at home.Visit www.mariecurie.org.uk for more information and support a good cause.
