MARIO ROMAN TAKES MX24
T
he 2018 Extreme Enduro sea-
son has officially kicked off in
Europe with the 24MX Ales Trem.
The French event welcomed rid-
ers to Ales in the south of France
for a three-lap 93-mile (150 km)
race. Rockstar Energy Husqvar-
na's Graham Jarvis was aiming to
defend his championship at the
event, but couldn't chase down
Sherco rider Mario Roman after a
mechanical issue slowed his ef-
forts. Roman took the overall win,
joined by his Sherco teammate
Wade Young on the overall po-
dium while Jarvis claimed second.
"I'm delighted with this result,"
said Roman. "I felt good all week-
end, winning the prologue on
Saturday and now the main event
is amazing. The final lap was
really hard in places, but I had
a good rhythm going, clearing
each tough section and was able
to push on to take the win."
"Congratulations to Mario; he
rode great," said Jarvis. "I was
looking forward to battling with
him on the final lap. Unfortunately
my clutch got damaged and I
thought my race was over but
somehow Damien fixed it in a
couple of minutes. That saved my
race for sure. To be honest at that
stage I thought finishing on the
podium would be a big ask, but I
was feeling really good on the TE
300i and riding really good.
"The bike was performing great
on the hardest sections and quite
quickly I managed to make my
way into third, with about three-
quarters of a lap to go I was in
second. But Mario was just too
far ahead. I had to settle for the
runner-up result." CN
