A new
riding terrain for riders, with so many loose rocks and riverbeds, made the
riders to struggle for a good flow and the mechanics for fine-tuning the bikes.
"It wasn't my best weekend. I was struggling a lot to accommodate with the
bike, my front suspension wasn't on the point. The terrain was very loose with
lots of rocks and river beds, so this was the biggest challenge for me and the
bike, and of course the heat and riding in the desert without water," says
Alfredo Gomez.
