Bike insurance customers may have been on hand to watch their Suzuki MVR-D heroes Carl Nunn and James Noble achieve a brace of top ten finishes at the latest Maxxis British Motocross Championship leg.

Round four, held at Hawkstone Park in Shropshire last weekend, saw Noble just miss out on a podium finish in race one, while Nunn took seventh place.

Fortunes reversed in the second race, with Nunn scooping third place and a podium finish, while Noble brought up the rear in fourth.

Nunn finished the day in fourth place overall, while Noble took the fifth spot.

Commenting on the results, team manager Mark Chamberlain said: "Overall it's been a good day of racing. Both James and Carl rode well and I really couldn't have asked for much more."

In the MX2 championship, Mattis Karro returned to racing at the last minute after an injury, but crashed in the first race and had to retire, despite his initial promising performance.

Karro got back on his bike for the second race but only managed a finish in 12th place.

The weekend's action was better for Relentless Suzuki MX rider Martin Barr, who achieved his first British Championship victory of the season.
