FIM Barcelona Indoor Enduro

Hi everybody!

Back home from Spain after my very first race with my Honda HM 250F.
The day was starting not so good, because of time issues I missed the riders-meeting and got a fine of 150 € to pay before the start to be able to ride.
The riders are here to make the show, taking the risk, and officials treat us like freaks in a circus.
All of this to make few hundred Euros!!!
ANYWAY...

The first practice was taff for me, directly after the second lap I got really bad arm pump, going all around the track without problem but no speed.
Second practice was not better with my arms but I was able to get the 4th best lap time.

















The first heat race of 8 laps, the top 4 riders were going to the main event and the others in the last chance race.
I did not take a good start and came back short and got a 5th place.
In the last chance of 6 laps, my start was better and after the second turn I took the lead for 4 laps, but i made a little mistake what gave Guerrero and Cervantes the chance to pass me.
I did not qualify for the main event but I was satisfied...
In the main event only 5 riders from the EWC were at the start all around were trial riders.
After the main event, a night race was part of the show and for me it was perfect to try my TRAILTECH helmet light, and finished third in a good battle with Cervantes and Roman.

 The next morning back in L'Estartit, we took a walk along the sea with the view of the Medes Islands with my follower. Eric is always there for me at the races and in my private life.
Thank you again for all Eric!!!
