Scotland (4/26/2011) - John
Mitchell Triumphs at Scottish Round Two RD2 QRS
Championships, Duns, 24th April 2011.John Mitchell
made it a perfect four wins out of four so far
this season as he won round two of the Quad Racing
Scotland Championship onboard his ATV World Laeger’s
Yamaha YZF450R.
Held on Sunday 24th April at the Duns motocross
circuit in Scotland, the riders and machines were
pushed hard by the demanding and technical track.
Race one started well and ATV World Yamaha Factory
rider John Mitchell got a good start, riding near
the front and keeping the pace. As the race got
to the halfway mark, he began pressing for the
win. First passing Paul Holmes, then catching
and overtaking Mark Watson with a quarter of the
race still to go. John won with the fasted lap
and made an excellent start to the three race
afternoon.

As the gates dropped for race two there was some
confusion as several of the riders’ gates
stayed up. The race continued in spite of this.
As a result, both John and Mark Watson were left
at the back and John knew it would be a challenge
from here. He didn’t panic and battled through
the pack, eventually taking an incredible second
place finish just behind Paul Holmes.
Race three was text book stuff as John took
the holeshot and led from start to finish, taking
the overall win in the process and making himself
unbeatable in the last four rounds he has raced
this year!
John said: “I’m really chuffed with
my performance so far this year and pleased
to be on the pace at the hard packed tracks
with the new bike. It truly has been awesome.”
All three podium places were won on Goldspeed
tyres, proving just how important good tyres
are when it comes to championship contention.
Thanks again for all the support from sponsors
who along with their outstanding products have
helped develop a potential championship winning
team for the 2011 season.
