1st round National Enduro:<br />
Sherco’s Wade Young Takes the<br />
Podium.<br />
The <strong>2018</strong> National Enduro<br />
season kicked off a little later<br />
than normal, the first round of<br />
the championship was hosted<br />
in Robertson in the Western<br />
Cape over Easter weekend on<br />
the 31st of March. The event<br />
was extremely well put together<br />
on a private farm just outside of<br />
Robertson.<br />
Veteran racer Altus de Wet<br />
sorted the routes…<br />
Everyone was very keen to see how the<br />
new format of flag to flag racing was<br />
going to play out as last year we had<br />
special stages in regularity laps. Riders<br />
set off in batches to conquer four loops of<br />
approximately 35km.<br />
The rugged Western Cape terrain<br />
presented a daunting technical valley and<br />
rocky river bed to conquer, and leading<br />
riders took over an hour to get through<br />
each lap.<br />
Sherco brought a huge team along – 17<br />
riders in all: This brand is doing marvelous<br />
things in racing. Wade Young, Eduan<br />
Bester, Scott Woods, Gideon Malherbe,<br />
Sidney Strydom, Sam Hallat, Louis Knipe,<br />
Leon Fourie, Andy Pederson, Mike Bekink,<br />
Paul Greenwood., Thomas Greenwood,<br />
Gideon Malherbe, Braam Campion,<br />
Adriaan Theron and Corne Visser all the<br />
way from Namibia! Wade took the gold in<br />
his usual professional style.<br />
Beta’s Trav Teasdale takes 2nd:<br />
Travis Teasdale reigning E2 2017 Champion<br />
, had a solid day despite some technical<br />
issues experienced on lap 3 and 4, he put<br />
his Factory BETA on the podium finishing<br />
2nd in the E2 class after a long four and a<br />
half hours of racing.<br />
Wade Leads the pack.
