E2: Chris Birch 8th

Posted: Thu 25 Aug 2005

Looks as though Chris Birch ended up 8th Overall in E2 after the final round held in Burg, Germany at the weekend. Don't yet for the full story but I gather that there were dramas just getting there with a broken down van at Dover on the way out.

Also Chris has been laid low with a mystery virus, and has been struggling to regain his fitness over the last few weeks.

He and girlfriend Monica were joined by fellow Kiwi enduro rider Rodney Callendar for the trip to Germany.

Rodney has just recently arrived in the UK to do his OE. Rodney will be heading to the ISDE in Slovakia with the Kiwi Team next month of Chris Birch, Paul Whibley and Kelly Patterson.

Sean Clarke has had to pull out at the last minute after damaging his shoulder again in a bulldozer accident.
