RUST#31 * KTM FREERIDE E-XC – electric is the future? * SIX DAYS TO GLORY – RUST’s Tom Sagar made the podium at the ISDE, here’s how * RALLY RAID PRODUCTS – bigger than you might imagine! * ENDUROGP – RUST goes to the races KTM helped save the planet in October, by putting on a launch with no riding. So no petrol consumed. Only the bike was electric… ahh, maybe we’re missing the point? Meanwhile Tom Sagar was consuming mucho fuel and tyres at the ISDE, but given he stood on the second step of the podium it was worth the cost. Rally Raid Products used to race, but now they put their expertise into helping adventure riders create stronger bikes. And EnduroGP came to the UK for an all-new format of enduro. Pretty impressive it looked too. All this and a little bit more in Issue 31. Happy riding and reading. Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

Day One: A lie-in!<br />

Finally the first day arrived and with late numbers we could enjoy the<br />

first lie-in since we’d arrived! Word in the paddock was that the first<br />

two days would be the hardest – and they weren’t wrong. With the<br />

heat almost reaching 40 degrees this would take its toll on the riders.<br />

The tests had looked really nice, flowing in the trees, but by the time<br />

we arrived at the first test nearly 500 riders had already passed through<br />

and with no rain for a long time the ground had turned into dust ruts.<br />

This would make passing slower riders on the first day really tough and<br />

quite dangerous.
