Bel-Ray TM rider Jake Stapleton wins his second

A4DE Championship

Bel-Ray TM Team placed 2^nd in A4DE Trade Team

Championship.

After scoring brilliant 2^nd and 3^rd places in rounds 11 and 12 of the 2005 World Enduro Championships in France the week end before, Jake Stapleton rushed back to Australia to compete in the 2005 A4DE.   Arriving on the Tuesday night before the event left Jake just one day to get over the jet lag, walk all the special tests and prepare for the 7am start on Thursday morning.

Jake commented after his great final MX win that “the event was an excellent test but perhaps a little less technical than the events I have been riding in Europe this year.”

Jake now has the 2005 250cc 2 stroke Australian Enduro Championship to go with his 2004 125cc Australian Enduro Championship.

Jake has won both titles riding TM motorcycle prepared by Cross Country Action for the Australian  “Bel-Ray TM Racing Team”.

Bel-Ray TM Racing Team also had another great A4DE success with Trent Lean finishing a brilliant 3^rd place in class.

Trent’s huge effort assisted the Bel-Ray TM Racing Team, comprising of Jake Stapleton,

Trent Lean and Chris Hollis into a fantastic 2^nd place in the 2005 A4DE Trade Team Championship.

Jake is now on his way back to Europe to compete in the next WEC round which will be  held in Finland  on 27/28 August.

Last Sunday saw Trent Lean continue his 2005 success story as a member of the Bel-Ray TM Racing Team.

After 10 Hard fought rounds of competition Trent finished on equal points with Geoff Ballard for a brilliant 1^st place in the series.

Using a “count back” system Trent was relegated  to 2^nd place in class for the 2005 Off Road Series.

Shane Mirfin, TM 300 riding for the Bel-Ray TM Racing Team,

has also enjoyed a great year by finishing  2^nd in his class in the 2005 National Off Road Series.

Bel-Ray TM Racing riders are spending a lot of time on the podium after each Off Road event this year further illustrating the exceptionally high quality of the products supplied by all the teams sponsors during 2005 season.

Cross Country Action, together with all the Bel-Ray TM Racing Team riders,
