Paul Holmes Unbeaten in Scottish ATV Quadcross Championship
Scottish ATV Championship - Round 5 - July 4, 2010

Holmes Racing's Paul Holmes and his KTM Race quad went 1-1 on the day at round 5 in Pennan to claim his 5th straight overall win of the season thus far

Pennan, Scotland (7/6/2010) - Current European Champion Paul Holmes made the long trip north of the border to Pennan, amidst the spectacular scenery of Aberdeenshire for round 5 of the SACU Scottish Championship on 4th July.

Rain had fallen throughout Saturday night and it looked unlikely that any racing would take place. But, the weather lightened up mid morning and a good strong wind helped dry the track out enough to let the racing commence.

Race 1 saw Holmes grab a crucial Holeshot in front of John Mitchell and the rest of the pack in hot pursuit. The technical hard pack track was soon conquered by Holmes who wasted no time in pulling a gap. Holmes went on to take the win with a comfortable gap of almost 15 seconds on Mitchell.

Race 2 involved a much busier first corner and Holmes was in second place with riders either side of him but was soon applying pressure to early race leader Mitchell. Just three laps in, Holmes made the move up the inside on a tight left hand turn before the rhythm section. Holmes kept his cool and his lead on Mitchell until the chequered flag which saw him finish with another comfortable lead.

Because the extreme weather conditions had meant a late start to the day's racing, only two of the usual three races were run. So, Holmes has now won 13 from 14 starts and has claimed his 5th overall win from 5 staying unbeaten.

Holmes commented after the days racing: "I've really enjoyed today, the track was really great and soon dried out, just brilliant for racing. It was also great practice for the upcoming European round in St Mamet, France just 2 weekends away. I've stepped up my mid week training and made some more slight adjustments to the bike set-up and all in all I feel great. Once again i'd like to say a big thanks to all my sponsors, family and friends."
