Classic Roof of Africa shot... riding a Husqvarna prepared by the South African importers. Despite the lack of top overseas entries the competition between KTM, Husqvarna, Yamaha, Beta and relative newcomers Sherco posing a threat, is more intense than ever before. It is an absolute shame, in our opinion that more motorcycle brands are not well represented, someone please get the other big 3 to build competitive enduro machines… KTM dominated by sheer weight of numbers, with not only the Importer team but with several dealer teams as well. Outfits like Alfie Cox racing, Traxx Dwayne Kleynhans... from Pretoria, KTM Cape Town and several others looking impressive and very competitive. Yamaha South Africa set up “Yamaha City” in the parking lot of the Avani Maseru Hotel (Old Maseru Sun) to assist any Yamaha riders with a full spares and technical back up an awesome initiative from the blue brand. If you raced a Yamaha, you were looked after by the importer. Now that is cool! All three classes, Gold, Silver and Bronze were fully subscribed, with Bronze class riders having to qualify at an event earlier in the year. This requirement was brought in last year after the organisers had to turn away literally dozens of entrants. One of the reasons for this is that the Roof is an iconic event like the Comrades marathon, and which many sportsmen put on a bucket list of things they would like to achieve someday. One of the results of this type of entrant is that in the past many of them were not really properly prepared, and stretched the resources of the organisers trying to find and help when they got stuck out in the mountains during the first day of racing. The new system saw more Bronze riders making the finish than ever before – and a whole bunch of silver riders, who jumped bronze being time barred. Garland on the new 2-stroke Yammie...
