RUST magazine: Rust#17
RUST magazine: Rust#17 Yep, Team USA won, but RUST digs deeper into the real stories that made ISDE 2016… Instant salvation? Can Rick Kemp atone for a lifetime of misdemeanours by trail riding the Pilgrims’ Way in just one day? Is the true adventure bike a single-cylinder lightweight super-enduro? CCM think so, but can the GP450 really cut the mustard? From France to Chile, we travel the globe to find out! Write less, said the editor (me!). That’s really not happening; at 128 pages our latest issue tops our last again. It’s all for your benefit though, and besides, look where dumbing-down gets us – Brexit and Clinton-Trump! Let’s engage our brains, our imagination – and our inspiration for that matter. This issue we’re even embracing medieval history, you don’t get that in many moto-publications. Anyway, this is also our first birthday – one year, 24 issues. It’s quite a pace, we’re not exactly flat out, or WFO as you might say, but pushing-on certainly. And with each issue our audience is expanding (read the editorial for more on that) so if you’re a new subscriber, welcome! Anyway, gotta run, there’s a plane to catch and a big adventure ride waiting. Should be epic… Enjoy your riding, too – and reading! Best Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

ROMANCIK<br />
Czech mates<br />
One of the biggest surprises of the 2016<br />
ISDE was the performance of the Czech<br />
Republic. While the four riders were clearly<br />
talented, we weren’t the only ones struggling<br />
to place just where this staggering form had<br />
come from. Jaromir Romancik was very<br />
much the team leader, posting times in the<br />
Top 5-10 every day, and the rider from the<br />
European Enduro Championship even<br />
prompted some members of the public to<br />
question: “How can he be this fast? There<br />
must be some mistake!” but the fact of the<br />
matter is that Czech riders have long since<br />
had an affinity with the ISDE, winning the<br />
event 15 times in World Trophy and 17 times<br />
in Junior/Vase. Their third place in the World<br />
Trophy this year was a welcome return to<br />
form and the team were clearly thrilled.
