RUST magazine: Rust#26

2018 HUSQVARNA TEs – shock headline: they’re fuel-injected! DAKAR REBOOT – yeah, we want to ride this one, please BON VOYAGE – Andy does a runner (or rather ‘did’) *** Of course Husky have fuel-injected their 250 & 300 two-strokes (there’d have been an outcry if they hadn’t). We sent RUST’s new apprentice along to see what it was like. Have we told you about him?! Also in this issue: the African Dakar experience, today, only like yesterday (you’ll see); and RTW day one – what’s that like? RUST, it’s the smart read. Hope you like it! Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

i started my enduro career in 2004 competing in the expert<br />

class of the British championship while still riding some rounds of<br />

the youth world trials championship. after winning the 2004 BEC<br />

expert class this seemed like the path i was meant go down and<br />

by 2007 i found myself finishing third in the world junior enduro<br />

championship, making overall British champion and finishing<br />

runner up at Erzberg, behind the amazing Taddy Blazusiak.<br />

The 2008 season i would get to ride for the factory KTM world<br />

championship team and experience a full factory bike. after this<br />

everything clicked in to place with my riding, although bike and<br />

team issues – as every pro rider will know – mean you don’t<br />

always achive all your dreams. all the same, with a string of<br />

British titles and a European overall title, the odd iSDE gold<br />

medal (riding for the British team), as well as achieving top 10<br />

results at the hardest trial in the world, the Scottish Six Day Trial –<br />

my all-time favourite event – i’m very satisfied with my race<br />

career. and now i have this opportunity! Can’t complain…
