The second round of the DQR 2020 shortened 4four-round season headed to the Green Valleys of North Wales at Tyn Twyll Farm last Sunday, for some real cross-country action set to test the most hardened enduro riders.


After heavy early morning showers, the Youth race kicked off the day in near perfect racing conditions albeit a slightly greasy surface on some of the steeper climbs. With a race time of 1.5 hours, Oliver Pinder and Ethan Best battled it out in the 250cc Hybrid class - Ethan took the top spot and Oliver second.

The 250cc saw Charlie Wheatley take the early advantage. An unfortunate crash at the end of lap one put James Maybury out of the race while in second position. Cai Evans moved up into second, setting the fastest lap of the race at just over 16 minutes, with Louie Holt in third. Charlie managed to break away from the chasing pack and was set for his second DQR win when bad luck struck on the very last lap and his chain snapped. Despite all his efforts, his race was over leaving Cai Evans to take the win just 1.2 seconds ahead of Louie in second and Freddie Robinson in third.

In the 125cc class, after some close racing and all riders completing four laps, Jake Robson was the winner from Jamie Burnett in second and Owen Stephens in third.

For the first time this year DQR saw the return of the Mini Quad class, a class for 8-13 years which caters for 50cc riders, 90cc riders and 100cc open riders over a shorter 30-minute course. There were lots of eager youngsters ready to race and enjoy the water splash which was set up for them. The Mini Quad 100cc class witnessed some close racing between brothers Ste and Jack Collins with Ste eventually winning and Jack second. Luke Warrington in the 90cc class took his class win and the overall result while Tyler Willcock won the 50cc class from Ashley Lloyd.

The afternoon’s Adult racing got underway just after midday and, with morning showers having cleared, it was perfect for racing.

The Experts and Expert Plus class combined were led away from the flag by Alex Bethell. He held the lead until the mid-way point when Josh Waring pushing hard overtook him, but by lap seven Alex was back in the lead with the fastest lap of the race 12. 37 minutes. John Robson, on his first outing of the year, was right with the leaders and eventually it was Alex who took the overall and Expert Plus win from John in second and Josh third.

Michael Williams came out top in the Experts, taking the win ahead of Will Dunlop in second.

Nick Tucker clinched the win in the Clubman class ahead of Round 1 winner Tom Stevens who had to settle for second, with Daniel Evans a solid third.

Burt Jackson was the sportsman class winner on nine laps. Just a minute separated him and second place Jake Best, with Vassna Willcock on her return to racing in third.

Harry Stevens took his second win in the 4x4 Lights and finished an impressive 11th overall with Shaun Wealleans second.

In the 4x4 Clubman class it was “Lightning” Laura Linton who took the holeshot to lead them off, Derek Burns moved into the lead early on and was the class winner with Laura second and Rob Little on his debut in third.

The 4x4 expert class was as competitive as always. Simon David took the early lead again and this time made it count by taking the win and an impressive second overall. Stuart Marley was second with Graham Guy rounding out the podium in third.
