Fast Eddy back on a Gas Gas

[Caravan Monster]

Looks like well respected UK rider Paul Edmonson is riding a Gas Gas again (he rode for them in the nineties, winning a 125 world title if I remember correctly). He now organises a variety of enduros and sells bikes. Hopefully his involvement will successfully promote the brand in the UK, where Gas Gas are still stuck with the reputation of being unreliable amongst the uninitiated.

For a second I thought you were talking about the "Fast Eddie" at our club in VA! Congrats to the other fast Eddie in any event.

This Fast Eddy !

Just checked - WEC overall championship win for Gas Gas on a 125 in '94 and on a 250 in '96. Raced GNCC '98 - '00, best result championship second for Kawasaki in 2000. Impressive career - been winning championships since 1989 and still managing overall second in the British Enduro Championship in 2008. UK ISDE team for years.

I'm sure his organisation was supporting Husky last week Must have an unusual sponsorship contracts. Here's the event itself, which attracted some world class riders. Sadly no Dougie Lampkin for Gas Gas at this one
