Ok we have threads for sx, mx and gncc so i figure we need one for the World Enduro championship. Two rounds have run... Portugal and Spain, Knighter isn't doing too well on the beemer. Aubert is poised to kick ass again. Cervantes is showing he can mack it on a bigger bike as well as a 125 and that's about it.

Anyone else following? My real reason for starting this thread is cos i want torrents for it and can't find any lol. I could get them last year... maybe they'll just take a while to come through? Anyone got the secret info for torrent links?

Here's the WEC site with a little clip of the Spain round. Man these guys are cool. Fuck Chad Reed

So whats the story with the BMW dream teams weak showing so far?

Dunno really. Knighter tweaked his knee and DNF'd the second day of the first round after placing 6th on the first day and was 6th day1 round2 and 6th day2 round2. I recon everyone else is just on fire and haven't had the 2 year break. All the fast boys are in that class (E3) Aro, Nambotin, Cervantes. Cervantes is killing them man

Salminen got 5th and 6th first round in his class (E2). 9th and 5th second round. I guess there's gotta be some teething for the new team and you don't hear much detail about what's going on in the teams but i think it's largely the fact that these young fellas are so fukkn fast. Reigning champ Aubert is on a KTM now and kicking ass. Teammate bellometti doing well too in that class

Basically if you wanna win you have to be on a KTM like Cervantes, Aubert, Aro, (Salminen, Knight -previousely) and can't forget Birch lol. My question is why aren't you over there with these guys? And how'd Pahiatua go for ya?

ha haa, yeah i'm a loud mouth and usually just say things for shock value. I love watching supercross too and haven't missed a round... i watch the good ones twice lol. I also recon chad's the man, he never faulters under pressure from stewart and stewart looks totally out of control sometimes. I'd say chad's the better rider. I secretly back him over Stewart for that reason but man i wish Villapoto was on their pace not to mention the fact we all wish Coops would qualify

why in some situations they are fast and can ride freely and to their full potential, and why on other occasions they are
unable to give 100 per cent without experiencing mistakes.

Sounds like the beemer has a few handling issues.

Cheers for that taki. Knight is a guest commentator at round 2 of the MX1 and he mentions that they've got a new chassis comming for his bike for the next round of the WEC so that may say something too

Sweet as I totally agree with you.......Steward is the man but i just like to see the yanks get it given to them no offence to Steward though he hardly seems like your typical yank

See young J Lawrence is mixing it up with the big guys now,As for Villapoto i just cant see him up there hes been way of the pace this year but in saying that the team he racing under said they were expecting this as a rookie

Enough about this anyways this is an enduro thread
