Really was an exhausting trip & here a short summary.
The weather switched from hurricane rain - gustsy winds - dust - cold - etc ....
The Routes - sand, boulders, gravel, cool driveways, etc ..
The CLUB teams partly equipped with world champions, Dakar riders & championship riders (Antoine MEO, Zilli, Svitko, Dante Oliveira, and many more ...) This caused that not a single German club rider made it to a gold medal! ... little unfair, but thats the rules?
Day 1 & Day2 - some slips & falls - lost a lot of time there
Day 3 - after noon the race was canceled due to some 150 drivers stuck at a driveway to the scree slopes (... like Erzberg in Austria)!
Day 4 - heavy fall with a swollen hand after - could not change the tires in the evening due to taht & had to continue day 4 with the old worn out tires
Day 5 - broken rear support frame (carbon composite part) & old tires - nevertheless managed to put 5 x best special stage times (... for the german club riders )
Day 6 - Final MX - due to political differences this was done at the kart track - half MX & half Super Moto :)
The achieved results in detail:
Team - Overall position 16 & Best German Club Team (out of 124 Teams)
SILVER MEDAL in the single driver ranking
Overall place 29 in the drivers' classification of the class (174 riders)
Overall place 59 in the drivers' classification of all classes (372 riders)
14x fastest German club driver in special stages (32 specials)
2nd best German club driver behind my team mate Maxi Hahn - 12 seconds behind after a distance after 1500km & 45 hours driving time !!
19th place at the final Moto Cross - out of all club riders (372 riders)
