They're doing a parkour race on the prologue!

Cheers OP.

So much for an early night. Amazing carnage watching normal riders. Excellent.

**NordieBoy** · 15th July 2015, 09:31

Dry until an hour before the prologue.

Doh!

I'd say. I only had a chance to look for a few mins to find one of the amateur guys literally launching the bike over some logs without himself seated on it. Poor bike, but entertaining as hell

Johnny Walker was on it, looked a step up above everyone else, and won by a decent margin, be interesting to see how the week goes,

great to see so many kiwis over there,

**NordieBoy** · 15th July 2015, 16:14

Birchy 6th!

**scott411** · 16th July 2015, 08:25

Birch 8th after day 1, 30 min down on the leader, Kevin Archer leading the Silver, with kiwis being 4 out of the top 5 overall in that class,

Jarvis with a 4 minute lead, and he started first, which was talked about being a disadvantage on the prologue coverage yesterday

**NordieBoy** · 16th July 2015, 20:41

Birchy is out!

Big crash.

He's OK but very disappointed.

**NordieBoy** · 16th July 2015, 21:12

Looks like it may have happened on the way to cp6 out of 9 for the day.
The Romaniacs App shows him completing up to cp5.

Looks like Jonny Walker picked up 6mins on Jarvis.

this from Enduro 21

"Unfortunately Chris Birch (KTM) is an early retirement of the race. While cruising in fourth gear he had a nasty high-speed crash. With a damaged bike and feeling a bit dizzy, he decided to play it safe and quit while he was ahead.

As he left the track towards the Service Point, Chris was spotted helping Silver class riders up a difficult section. Aside from a few bad bruises he is ok."

Don't lynch me, but when did Chris Birch last win an international race?
Just wondering.

Then along came Graham Jarvis...

Silver

The Silver class was dominated by New Zealanders Archer, Herbert, Clarke, Parker, Broughton and Grey, who consistently placed in the top 10. Kevin Archer (KTM) maintained his overall lead throughout, with his closest threat being Norbert-Levente Jozsa (KTM), who finished as runenr0-up. The Romanian Norbert kept pushing Archer throughout the race but Archer was the stronger rider and won the Silver class.

That's brilliant. I take my hat off to these blokes for getting over there and being so competitive in the event.
