Winner of the first Moto1 powers to victory at Donington Park - Oct 31st 2004

David Knight blitzed all-comers as he grabbed victory in the inaugural Moto1 event at Donington Park on Sunday.

Knight ­ runner-up in this year¹s World Enduro Championship ­ was unstoppable as he converted Saturday¹s overnight lead into overall victory with third place in Sunday¹s trial followed by runner-up finishes in the motocross and supermoto events to clinch the title and £6000 first prize.

I can¹t believe I¹ve managed to take the win, said Knight. I knew I¹d have a good chance ­ only because I¹ve a lot of experience on trials and I knew some of the others wouldn¹t have any experience.

I was pleased to score in all eight events, especially the road racing, and to win the first ever Moto1 makes me feel very proud. This event will grow and grow and will be very big in years to come.

Knight ran out winner by 25 points from fellow enduro rider Ady Smith while Wayne Braybrook¹s 13th place finish in Sunday¹s road race handed him three points and was enough for him to leapfrog Scotsman David Campbell to clinch third place.

Leighton Haigh won both supermoto races to take fifth place overall and Tom Sykes was double victor in the road racing to end the Moto1 weekend in sixth place.
