Firstly on Saturday was the 1st Round of the FIM World Indoor Enduro Championship and the No.1 GAS GAS Factory Rider Christophe Nambotin could only manage 10th place overall. This wasn’t helped by having his new Factory Bike stolen in the early hours of Saturday Morning along with another two Spanish Riders bikes L. Christophe rode his practice bike, so all was not lost.

Those who know the sport appreciate that true ‘Enduro’ riders do not automatically make good ‘extreme / indoor’ riders and Christophe is the perfect example. Although one of the worlds Top Enduro Riders after winning this years ISDE overall, Christophe will be the first to admit his Trials skills (which are needed for this kind of Racing) are limited. However he really enjoyed the event and was smiling at the end.

No.1 Steve Plain /GGUK Rider ASHLEY WOOD also competed on a new 2010 CC250 and similarly to Christophe needs better trials skills and longer legs! Ash did ok, stayed out of trouble and matched most of the UK riders. I can’t find the full results…..anyone help?

My pal, Juan KNIGHT finished 4th Overall in the British Expert Class on a new 2010 CC300.

Jonny Walker (JSTGG) won the Trials Bike Class.
