BIRCH ON…<br />
HARD ENDURO<br />
Extreme enduro is going through another<br />
transformation with this WESS series, and I really like<br />
the way that’s pushing things, to suiting the more allround<br />
rider. Extreme enduro, hard enduro, whatever<br />
you want to call it, had started to become a little too<br />
retarded into trials, forgetting that it’s not weird trials,<br />
it’s meant to be hard enduro, so I think this WESS<br />
thing might help bring that balance back a bit.<br />
RALLY<br />
Yes, I did the Dakar and I enjoyed that (he finished<br />
27th in 2012). But I’ve done the Hellas Rally twice<br />
now and that’s woken me up to these European<br />
Rally styles, and they’re really good fun, I’d definitely<br />
like to do more of those. And the bike that I rode in<br />
Sardinia – the 790 Adventure prototype – you could<br />
jam some mousses in that, put a roadbook on it and<br />
race it straight away. I wouldn’t want to do anything<br />
else to it!<br />
