Knight gewinnt “Tough One”
Nach vierjähriger Pause holt sich David Knight den Sieg bei der zehnten Auflage des Hardenduro-Rennens Tough One.
Aber es war keine Spazierfahrt für den Hünen von der der Isle of Man auf seiner Sherco. Runde um Runde lieferte er sich ein hartes Kopf an Kopf-Rennen mit Jonny Walker (KTM), dem er erst gegen Ende des Rennens die Führung abnehmen konnte.
Den dritten Platz holt sich ein glücklicher Alfredo Gómez Cantero (Husqvarna). Gómez konnte aufgrund seiner Blinddarm-Operation bislang nur wenige Tage auf dem Motorrad trainieren, umso zufriedener war er mit seinem Podiumsplatz.
Husqvarna-Teamkollege Graham Jarvis verpasste die Top 3 bei dem Rennen. “Ich bin davon ausgegangen, dass es ein sehr schnelles Rennen wird. Das liegt mir nicht so sehr. Ich habe schon bald nach dem Start arm pump bekommen und konnte nicht so in das Rennen gehen, wie ich es gerne gewollt hätte. Als es besser wurde konnte ich auch meine Geschwindigkeit steigern und einige Plätze gut machen und Alfredo den dritten Platz abnehmen. Aber 30 Minuten vor Schluss ist mir die Kraft ausgegangen und ich konnte die Position nicht halten.”
