Cuts like a knife

06/05/2009

once again the name of the stage was real,  we had to ride very competitive 200km yesterday. The 2 special test have been once again a very fast one on a gravel road across a mountain and a single trail navigation test. Hard enduro ;-)

I have to pay real respect to the guys with the big enduros especially 2 guys from Vienna a competing with 2 BMW 1200GS (weight of 250kg) of course they have some parts which they do not ride but I would have crahsed this big bikes on the first day.

It was not such a good day for Peter, his tripmaster was not working well and so he did not managed to get to the special tests and the finish in time and catched up 2hours   of penelaty time.

Luigi showed that intelligence beats speed and won this day because he was absolulty fastest in the navigation test!

Again it was very good day for me. As I said we are here for glory and pain I managed to be everywhere in time and was good on the special tests. I reached my goal and am the best “non KTM rider” in the orange world of enduros with less than 180kg.  As you see in the pictures I climbed up the standings. Overall rank 21st and in my category I am top ten - rank 9.

Today we have a day off to do service work on the bike and give the body a chance to upload the batteries. You can have a llok on the pictures section the rally is hard for the tires I lost already 60% of my new tire. Some guys need to change it every day, but you can see as well that they are really professional equipped. Some former Motocross and Enduro Austrian Champions are riding here as well.
