After the extreme conditions on Wednesday, the drivers found good weather and dry tracks at the start of the second off-road day on Thursday. The difficult conditions on the previous day had sometimes spread the times far apart, so many had to close the gap. The German Manuel Lettenbichler had gained enough of a lead that he was out in the front alone for the majority of the day. Trystan Hart (CAN) battled hard to gain ground on him until he had a navigational error and lost valuable time...

In its 20th edition, the world’s toughest hard enduro rallye, the Red Bull Romaniacs kicked off with the in-city prologue in Sibiu. The 35 fastest competitors from the qualifications competed in a multi lap race to become the prolog winner. The in-city prolog is a short race course in Sibiu’s town center with man made obstacles. The Gold class Prolog finals were absolutely insane! Billy Bolt (UK) fought his way through, with Manuel Lettenbichler (GER) always one step behind, and managed to wi...

Stage 3 of the 2023 4Islands MTB Croatia was the Queen Stage of the event, featuring the best riding that the island of Cres had to offer. The main protagonists of the day were, once again, Orbea x Leatt x Speed Company as they charged up the opening climb in their true to brand style and drove the pace with BUFF MEGAMO and Team Bulls in tow. When the elastic broke, it was Egger and Baum alone for the majority of the stage once again. Egger and Baum’s winning time was 03:14:04. Second place w...

The 4th and final stage of the 4Islands MTB Croatia took place on the island of Lošinj and led the teams on a 41 kilometer loop around the island with 950 meters of altitude. Lukas Baum (GER) & Georg Egger (GER), Cape Epic 2023 runners up and 2022 Cape Epic winners take home the coveted 4Islands MTB title for their first time. After winning all four stages, except the prologue, the German duo are the well-deserved winner. Second in the overall finished Hugo Drechou (FRA) and Hans Becking (NED...

In the end it was Graham Jarvis (GBR, Husqvarna) who took the win, his seventh win and twelfth podium at Red Bull Romaniacs. Jarvis is undoubtedly a legend in the sport of extreme hard enduro, the most recognised enduro athlete, an ambassador, a phenom, an icon and role model for all riders and fans across the globe. He is respected and looked up to by fellow Gold class riders who try to follow him and gain from his knowledge and experience. Graham Jarvis: “I felt good the other days but toda...

Red Bull Romaniacs Offroad Day 2 was a tough one to wake up to. There was just enough rain early morning to make a slight difference on the tracks, it was still dusty in parts but some better traction in others. Gold competitors were sent directly into two steep sections “Romanian Style’ and ‘Enough’ right before the Live Maniacs section on ‘Titanic’, familiar to some competitors as it has been a signature section in the Gold class for four years. Although it was a heavy start, the day was no...

Today’s prologue (time trial // 24km distance // 700m climbing) was short but the first half of the route led steadily uphill, driving heart rates upwards, before the second phase of the day was packed with roller-coaster downhills on manicured singletrack. It was a first test for the riders to prove their form and get their name in the spotlight.

It was close to home so we decided to just nurse it home for the final two kays,” he said. “Just b...
