Hard Enduro Gets Started In Spain
T
he first major hard enduro
event of the year took place
in Spain for the opening round
of the new Spanish Hard Enduro
Championship, January 23-24.
In the three-hour race at Pascuet
Offroad Center, Sherco's Mario
Roman took the win, finishing
30 minutes ahead of runner-up,
Beta's Jonny Walker.
"There was no assistance pos-
sible during the race, and I did
the 13 laps with only a refueling in
the middle where I ate, changed
my mask and got fuel," said Ro-
man. "It was a big fight with Jonny
on the first two laps, then I man-
aged to take two minutes ahead
and keep them. I continued to
push lap after lap, until I passed
him and put him a lap down the
end of the race." CN

heavily in its intellectual property prosecution and defense," said 100% CEO

attempt to capitalize on our investments, we appreciate the Italian courts
having further validated the strength of our registered design and ordered
damages be paid for this infringement. 100% will continue to vigorously
