Spectacular racing at BW Uis Enduro
Riders set for 22 July clash near Karibib
Spectacular endurance racing took place at Uis last Saturday, where round four of the Bank Windhoek Namibian Enduro Championship took place.
A large crowd of spectators witnessed 75 Enduro riders making their way through a stunning track, including dunes, river beds and single track sections.
Henner Rusch (KTM) and Marcel Henle (KTM) delivered nail-biting action in the Open Motorbikes Class right from the start. The two exceptional riders were neck and neck throughout the race, changing lead, and finally separated only by 20 seconds at the finish line, after more than 2.5 hours of hard racing. Henle took his second victory of the season, equaling Rusch in the championship, who also has two victories under his belt. Pascal Henle (KTM), currently studying abroad, was back in Namibia and in good shape for the Uis Enduro to take the podium in third.
David Brown (KTM) interrupted the three-race winning streak of Joern Greiter (KTM) with his victory in the Senior Motorbike Rider's Class.
Werner Wiese (KTM) finished second ahead of Kai Hohmeier (KTM) in third.
Greiter rode an excellent race, but received a penalty for missing a transponder to finish fourth.
Kai-Uwe Brettschneider (KTM) was also back from study leave after more than two years of absence from the Bank Windhoek Namibian Enduro scene, but still finished first in the Clubman's Class.
Duard Wiese (KTM), victorious at the Otjihase Enduro, finished only 23 seconds behind Brettschneider in second place.
Last year's Clubman's Class Champion and current championship leader, Juergen Gladis (KTM), finished third.
The off-road bikes produced another spectacular winner, as youngster Keanu Weber-Trianus (KTM) took first place ahead of Johan van der Merwe and Francois Theron. Levin Quinger (KTM) took victory in the development class ahead of championship leader Dylan Hilfiker (KTM) and Colin Eins (KTM).
Gary Rowland (Honda) took the open Quad Class victory as championship leader JL Oppermann suffered technical difficulties. After the main Enduro event, a dune climbing competition, sponsored by NS Electrical, Maritz Transport, Crown National, Auto Ecke, and Safe Wear completed the action at Uis.
Round five of the Bank Windhoek Namibian Enduro Championship will take place on 22 July at Ababis, close to Karibib. The Namibian Enduro Club encourages spectators and Enduro riders to follow our Facebook page and the web site for more updates. - Bank Windhoek
