Because there were 4 riders in front of him??

In most single speed MTB races the winner gets 1st and everyone else gets 2nd. Tradition.

Maybe this guy should get it, made it home unaided through green hell, with a knee injury and within time LOL

Mario Roman, who overcame a serious knee injury and having to scale Downtown without the support of fellow riders to reach home with just over 60 seconds to spare

Same thought crossed my mind, although I read somewhere else 'mostly' unaided.

Legend either way!

He had the help of another rider to get up Downtown.

It was a massive effort by that Welsh rider.

The first five struggled with the combined efforts of all five of them.

They were hauling 5 bikes though...

Last year's entire race was only 30min longer than the time they spent in that one section.

Brutal.

his finishing time was officially recorded as 2nd fastest on the day. They didn't want to give him the 2nd place race points it seems, Duckworth-Lewis eat ya heart out. :wacko:

Just read your other post aboot teh 450's. I think Erzberg, any Hard Enduro, is a clue. Modern 2t's, particularly the 300/350 enduro bikes pull like tractors from nothing, dislike stalling and have a screaming top end. I think one of the Hemingway brothers had nearly 150kmh on his trip meter between sections. Geared for those hills and rocks?:eek: Weigh bugger all, too.

Oh. I forgot to say, cheers Nordie, would totally have missed it had you not posted.

In kiwiland the top guys seem to be favoring 250 2 strokes and it's the mid pack on the 300's.
NordieBro did the NutBuster on an RM125 with RWU forks.

Couple of POV's. The second one is over an hour but really shows how tough it is. Looks like a bloody good rider, too. Stick with it, he does wipe the lense...

My 200 is not too shabby, either. Have seen over 140 km/h beach racing with taller gearing. Cross-country gearing without so much tyre spin yields 125 km/h. But my 200 is pretty quick, I have gapped NordieBro on his RM250 across a flat paddock in a race, to his surprise - mixed emotions since he built the motor! He was lapping me at the time though LOL.

The south island enduro series was a Euro-fest, half KTM's, maybe 10% jappers, the rest a sea of Sherco, Beta, Husqvarna, etc. Two-strokes were more than half the field. And many bikes were enduros not MXers. I've never seen so many in one place before: Euro's, 2T's or enduros!! [emoji2]

And then there was NordieBro, with his little 1996 RM125. Conventional forks never looked more out of place.
