THE ROMANIACS WE MISSED
Round four of this year ’ s FIM Hard Enduro World Championship at Red Bull Romaniacs was one to behold . A full week of pure Hard Enduro action and passion , it will be one to remember for a long time to come . With so much happening in such a relatively short space of time , here is a quick look back at six of the bits you may have missed …
Five Manufacturers In The Top six Reading through the results sheet of the Gold class and it ’ s clear to see the growing number of manufacturers present with KTM , Beta , GasGas , Sherco , and Husqvarna all in the mix . KTM topped the class thanks to Manuel Lettenbichler ’ s win , but Sherco were arguably team of the week with both Wade Young and Mario Roman second and third , respectively . A fourth from Jonny Walker was also Beta ’ s best ever result at Red Bull Romaniacs .
Sandra Does It Again ! Making it two Gold class finishes in a row , Sandra Gomez ( GasGas ) continues to push the limits for women in Hard Enduro . Last October she became the first female competitor to complete Gold at Red Bull Romaniacs , and this time she smashed it . Finishing an incredible 29th overall , she also stayed clean on penalties .
Carry On Camping The much-anticipated marathon stage proved a hit during this year ’ s race . Between Offroad Day 2 and Offroad Day 3 , competitors got back to basics by spending a night in the forest at a makeshift campsite . With no outside assistance from their teams and support crews allowed , they had to take care of all mechanical maintenance , while recharging body and mind for the following day .
