Reigning FIM Enduro 3 World Champion David Knight continued his unbeaten run of results in '06 by adding victory at the second round of the British Enduro Championship, the Grampian MCC organised Lossiemouth Enduro staged in Scotland. Placing comfortably ahead of Paul Edmondson and Jake Stapleton on both days of the event aboard his D3-Racing KTM, Knighter finished well over two minutes ahead of his nearest competitor on day one and close to two minutes ahead on day two. Adding victory on both days in Scotland to his winning ride at round one of the series in Norfolk David extended his lead in the overall British Enduro Championship standings with four rounds remaining.With eight hours in the saddle and nine special tests on day one of the Lossiemouth Enduro the opening day proved to be a demanding one. For David it also proved to be an extremely good one as he topped each of the day's special tests to claim close to a three minutes winning margin. Revelling in the sandy conditions and clearly enjoying himself on both special tests David remained unbeaten during the day performing arguably better than he ever has in a BEC event.Day two was very much the same as day one for David. Topping the opening special test by 11 seconds he then posted a time 23 seconds quicker than any other rider on the day's second test before winning each of the remaining five tests. With his D3-Racing KTM performing faultlessly David was full of praise for the Grampian MCC event, commenting that the special tests were some of the best he has ever ridden. With the sixth and seventh tests on day two run back-to-back the event was brought to a spectacular close where David once again proved his consistency posting identical times on both test.David's next events will be the second and third rounds of the '06 World Enduro Championship, which take place in Portugal on May 6/7 and Spain on May 13/14David Knight: "The Lossiemouth Enduro was one of, if not the, best enduro I've ever ridden in - it was great fun. It's great that the BEC has returned to Scotland and I just hope that the Grampian club will run the event as a British championship event next year. The special tests were world class. Both were completely different to each other and fun to ride. The Lossiemouth test was really difficult in places because the sand was so soft but getting to race on the beach was awesome. The Woodside test near the start of the event had everything - single track, a full motocross test, flat turns and woodland. The check times were spot on as well. "Day one went really well. I knew I was going to enjoy the tests because the Lossiemouth Forest test is very similar in places to my training area on the Isle of Man. It was a tiring day though - I can't remember the last time I rode for eight hours. I was glad to see the end of the first day because riding for that long in the sand takes it out of you. "I didn't have any problems all weekend, apart from hitting a tree on one of the tests, which nearly knocked me clean off my bike. The back-to-back tests at the end of the second day were great, the atmosphere was like the final motocross at the six days because so many of the Expert and Clubman riders were watching. All in all it was a great weekend."Results Day 1 - Championship class (Overall)
