ENDURO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2014
3rd ROUND - GREECE

The Team Beta Enduro Factory celebrates the double victory of Giacomo Redondi and the third place of Johnny Aubert on the second day.

The Greek town of Kalambaka hosted the third round of the 2014 Enduro World Championship, welcoming the crowded paddock in a very picturesque location. The three special stages were concentrated in one large area and the spectators can enjoy all the actions of the race surrounded by the astonishing monasteries of Meteora.

In the Enduro Junior class, Giacomo Redondi dominated the weekend, winning both day 1 and day 2 and reopening the battle to the championship title against another Beta rider Danny McCanney (Team Beta Boano Costa Ligure). Even though Giacomo recently fractured his right wrist, he was in great physical conditions and he found a perfect riding pace on his Beta RR 250 2-strokes, winning 9 stages out of 12.

It has been a great weekend also for our French rider Johnny Aubert and the Beta RR 450 4-strokes, in the E2 class, which won the Super Test on Friday, setting the same time as Alex Salvini. On Saturday he was leading the race for the entire day, but unfortunately in the last lap he fell off the bike and set a fourth place. Johnny had a great speed and he won two cross stages. The next day, Johnny found a perfect riding pace, setting great times and finishing third on the podium.

It has been an unlucky weekend for Portuguese rider Luis Correia, Beta RR 300 2-strokes, even if he struggled with all of his strength to get on the podium in the E3 class, he made little mistakes that kept him far from the top places. His speed was impressive and he won 3 stages. His race has been positive as he finished fourth in day 1 and fifth in day 2, always in the top five, certainly the commitment and determination that Luis is putting in the races will be soon rewarded.

Giacomo Redondi
"On Saturday McCanney and I immediately started to push hard, setting good times also in the overall classification. We arrived with the same total time to the last stage and I managed to win. On Sunday, I wanted to start the race pushing hard to leave a consistent gap behind me and I did it. I am very happy for my result, I won nine stages out of twelve and this double victory is also important for the standings. "

Johnny Aubert
"On Friday I did a good Super Test and I won with the same time of Alex Salvini. In my opinion on Saturday I did a good race, I was in the lead for most of the day and I battled with the best riders in the world scene. Also on Sunday my performance has been positive, I battled with Renet throughout the day and at the end the podium has arrived "

Luis Correia
"The two days were unlucky, on Saturday I fell right in the Cross Test where I was going fast and I was in the lead, then I threw away the third place on the next day because I crash badly in the Enduro Test while I was approaching to the top three. We are working hard with the team and we are close to get the first podium of the season.Scrivi la notizia principale
