Team TM UK 2010 MX Riders  (Mar 28, 2010)

2010 will see TM UK once again supporting a number of riders in the UK domestic Championships this year, with events such as the Maxxis British Championships, The British 2 Stroke Championships, The Red Bull Pro National series and selected other events it will be a busy season for all involved.

The big news, to settle the rumours that surfaced later last year, is that the likeable Irish ace Stuart Edmonds, who has been competing on TM machinery his entire career from his 85cc days to present, will again pilot TM machinery in 2010. The current Irish MX1 and MX2 Champion will be competing on TM Racing's incredible 450cc MX machine in the Maxxis British Championships as well as riding a 250cc 2 stroke in the British 2 Stroke Championship and the Red Bull Pro Nationals.

Jim Davies, the hugely popular and friendly lad from Surrey who took the 2009 British 125cc Championship crown on his TM 125 machine will be trying hard, against some stiff competition, in 2010 to defend his title. Jim will also pilot a 250cc 2 stroke in the British 2 Stroke Open Class Championship as well as the Red Bull Pro Nationals in the MX2 class and the Maxxis British Championship.

Long time TM campaigner and 2 stroke supremo Jonathan Pettitt will be back in 2010, after missing the majority of the 2009 season due to injury the 2008 125cc Champion will once more be chasing for the title, a title he has already taken twice on TM machinery since the series first started. Jon is also hoping to compete in selected events on TM Racing's brand new 250cc 4t Efi MX machine once it hits the UK shores and after 2 sucessful attempts, in the 2008 and 2009 British Championship 'Natterjack' Enduro where he set some very good times for a 'rookie' and was at the sharp end of his capacity class throughout the events duration, is looking to do selected Enduro's also.

Ryan Pottenger, the incredibly smooth youngster from North Wales, who took the British Clubman Expert Championship title at the British Masters series in 2009, will once again pilot TM machinery in 2010.
Ryan, whose first TM was an 85cc machine, has campainged in numerous championships at British, National and club level with countless success over the years riding every capacity class machine that TM have produced. He still remains loyal to the Italian marque for 2010 and will compete in the British 2 Stroke Championship Open Class, the Maxxis British Championships, The Red Bull Pro Nationals and other selected events.

Supporting the team throughout the 2010 season will be: TM UK, Electraction, Team Craigie Racing, Kleenrite, Premier Cars and Davies Fencing. With bike product support from: ELF, Pirelli, Renthal, Regina, Carbone Lorraine and Pro-Clean.
