Iddon & Jones – Two Worthy Winners At Lydd International Raceway
10 May 2007
Round 2 of the British Supermoto Championship took place at the windswept, but dry Lydd International Raceway near Ashford in Kent and what a magnificent weekend of action packed racing it was. The 28 permanent riders in the British Championship were slightly down on numbers as Phil Smithson (Husaberg 650), Shane Parkin (Suzuki 450) and Gennaro Dichello (Pope KTM 450) were all unfortunate non-starters at Round 2. The remaining regulars were joined however, by three wildcard riders for this meeting in the form of ex British Motocross legend Rob Herring (Halsion Aprilia SXV 450), 2006 Moto GB star and ex-World Motocross competitor Jochen Jasinski from Germany (Husaberg 650) plus 2006 Thai National Supermoto Champion, expatriate Australian Shane Stratton (Halsion Aprilia SXV 450).
