- 19 ktm 300tpi 6 days / 15 Yamaha YZ250F / 08 Husky 450SMR / 13 ER6N / 13 KTM 300XCW(sold)
Last weekend was the 2nd round of the Thailand enduro championship. Around 60 riders came for the 2 days race with groups coming from as far as Phuket and about 100 bikes for the Sunday only race.
Race was held in Mae Krachan (????????? or is it ?????????), and consisted of 4 stages on Saturday and 3 stages on Sunday (there were supposed to be more but they dropped 1 or 2 stages because of the heavy rains from last week.
Alex and myself went racing in the production bikes novice category and our thai friends went in the supercup bikes category.
Day one was more open/flowing trails, Alex ended 6th at the end of day one, and myself 4th.
Day two had one single/double track stage in the morning, followed by 2 hard enduro stages (following deep slippery rivers, rock fields, some mud, drop offs...).
Unluckily for Alex he got water in the engine during the 2nd stage of day 2 and his bike wouldn't start.
At the end of the 2 days three of us were on the podium:
Ton, always smiling... Can't explain how helpful and friendly this man is. First in the "family open" class (I think it means the stock bikes with max displ. of 125cc 4stroke):
Bird, very talented, he never practices and always wins (somehow he got second, at the last minute there was a change in the times...) in the underbone class:
Myself, 2nd in production bike novice:
Will post some pictures/video of the race when I get them.
