Hi Bill.
I have been sending results back to Kiwi Rider, so keep an eye out there for what has been happening.
I am keen to keep you up to date with my latest info but, the only problem is regular access to a computer.
I have been traveling non stop since the Italian race and have just now arrived in Finland after driving 1600+ km and a 36 hour boat ride.
At France, Saturday was good, finishing 5th, Sunday I fiinished 8th.
I was happy with that result.
In Italy I also had some good times, but with the local riders entering in my class and having a lot of local knowlege of the track, I ended up finishing 13th and 12th in class. I think 8th in class for the series.
The extreme test was very extreme, with a lot of rocks and uphills.
My
times were not as bad as I expected in this test.
In the other X tests my times
were good, but as the test dried the riders at the back, the locals, got the best
run.
I lost most time in the Enduro tests. I walked the test that I had struggled with on the Saturday again on Sunday night and my times were rewarded with an improvement in Sunday`s races.
We now are in Finland to practice in the sand for the next WEC.
Thanks & Ciao,
Paul.
