Max
was riding his usual 250, while Tommy did his first race on a 450. It
was a very good preparation for the upcoming Motocross of Nations, as
Tommy will be riding a 450 for this event; beating twice British
champion Brad Anderson, Tommy shows his ability on this bike but will be
of course back on a 250 for the GP of Germany this weekend.

Tommy Searle: “I’ve
been a little bit nervous in the week because I’ve never raced a 450 so
there’s always that on your shoulders, like people are going to slate
you if you do bad. The regular Red Bull Pro National guys don’t hang
around either so I was really unsure, I knew I could ride it fast in the
week, but I didn’t know how it would be in the race. As it went it was
great, I had a couple of good starts, I mean we really haven’t touched
the bike so I’m happy with that. It’s pretty much bog standard, we have a
little bit of suspension, but they just put it in, we haven’t even gone
testing, they haven’t even changed one click. I just got it out, rode
it twice in the week, then went out and raced it, the bike is really
unbelievable, I’m so impressed with the 450. This is just a one off
race, the 450 is good fun but I also like riding the 250, the 450 is
just a different style of riding and I made it work. I’m really proud of
myself today you know.”
