Dougie Lampkin 4th World Indoor Enduro

Dougie Lampkin recently competed in the 2nd round of the world indoor enduro championship in Genoa, and finished an amazing 4th place. The event was always going to be difficult having a full entry list of top riders with the likes of Taddy Blazusiak(KTM) and Ivan Cervantes(KTM). Despite having almost no experience in enduro and riding a production based BETA RR450 Dougie scraped into the final by winning the last chance qualifier.

 The main event was split into three finals. The first final dougie finished 3rd, one spot ahead of KTM mounted Taddy Blazusiak. The second final wasn't so easy, a crash while sitting in second place pushed him to the back of the pack. He managed to salvage fifth place but unfortunatly even a third place in the final race didn't quite get him to the podium.

“It almost feels as good as a win, as I was not expecting to shine at all, especially after such a tough start to the day. It was very much a case of learning on the job and by the last race I was getting somewhere near the quicker riders. My starts were really bad and left me with a lot of work to do in each race. It’s definitely something I need to practice, as being a trials rider for so long it is not something I have ever thought about before. Overall it’s been a very positive first attempt. “ Dougie concluded.
