Second half of the championship starts in Kielce  

Second half of the championship starts in Kielce

 

Next weekend, on 18 and 19 September, the European Enduro Championship in Poland will enter its second half of the season: The motorsport club from Kielce, „Korona Novi”, has pitched its tents in Piekoszów, on the western outskirts of Kielce.

The club not only has a lot of experience with Enduro, it even hosted the finals of the European Championship in 2018.

Three rounds of the 76 km long course will be ridden every day, which adds up to over 220 km of off-road for the riders. The course includes a cross test, an enduro test and an extreme test to be completed in each round. All tests are within easy reach of the paddock for fans and supporters.

Over 120 riders have registered for this. Although junior rider Kristof Kouble from the Czech Republic is currently the leader in the overall standings, his fiercest rival Enrico Rinaldi from Italy is close on his heels.

In addition, the brothers Rafal and Aleksander Bracik enjoy home advantage and could certainly use that for a success in their cubic capacity classes.

Local hero Maciej Wieckowski even has the chance to take the lead in the small four-stroke motorbike class. But there are also some promising home-grown talents in the juniors with Dawid Domanski, Patryk Kuleszo and Kacper Baklarz, who have already established themselves in the European Championship.

 

The start is on both days from 9:00 a.m.

Die zweite Hälfte der Meisterschaft beginnt in Kielce

Am kommenden Wochenende, am 18. und 19. September, geht die Enduro-Europameisterschaft in Polen in die zweite Saisonhälft: Der Motorsportclub aus Kielce, „Korona Novi“ hat dafür die Zelte in Piekoszów, am westlichen Stadtrand von Kielce aufgeschlagen.

Der Verein hat nicht nur viel Erfahrung mit Enduro, er hatte sogar schon 2018 einmal das Finale der Europameisterschaft ausgerichtet.

Gefahren werden täglich drei Runden auf dem 76 km langen Kurs, die addiert über 220 km Offroad für die Fahrer sind. Die Stecke beinhaltet sowohl einen Cross-Test, als auch eine Enduro-Prüfung und einen Extrem-Test, die in jeder Runde zu absolvieren sind. Alle Prüfungen sind vom Fahrerlager aus für Fans und Betreuer gut zu erreichen

Über 120 Fahrer haben sich dafür angemeldet. Zwar ist der Junioren-Fahrer Kristof Kouble aus der Tschechischen Republik aktuell der Führende in der Gesamtwertung, doch sein schärfster Konkurrent Enrico Rinaldi aus Italien ist ihm dicht auf den Fersen.

Dazu genießen die Brüder Rafal und Aleksander Bracik Heimvorteil und könnten das sicherlich für einen Erfolg in ihren Hubraumklassen nutzen. Lokalmatador Maciej Wieckowski hat sogar die Chance die Führung in der Klasse der kleinen Viertakt-Motorräder zu übernehmen. Aber auch bei den Junioren gibt es mit Dawid Domanski, Patryk Kuleszo und Kacper Baklarz einige vielversprechende heimische Talente, die sich schon in der Europameisterschaft etabliert haben.

Der Start ist an beiden Tagen ab 9:00 Uhr

European Enduro Championship in the Czech Republic

On Saturday, 7 August 2021, the European Enduro Championship started its first day in its second competition in the Czech Republic:

The favourite, Krystof Kouble, lived up to his role and made the most of his home advantage on the demanding course – the Czech rider came back from the first of the three rounds with three special stages each as the overall leader. He did not relinquish this position until the finish. But he had a crash in the very last special stage: „I was so excited and in such a hurry to get back on the bike that I didn’t lose much time. Luckily I didn’t hurt myself,” the Sherco rider was happy to report at the end.

After a crash in the extreme test, championship leader Enrico Rinaldi from Italy had to bury his hopes for another class win ahead of Kouble. Rinaldi took third place in the overall standings.

In second place, however, and surprisingly, was Dominik Olszowy from Poland, who had not yet competed in the European Championship. However, the KTM rider had just returned from the Hardenduro World Championship in Romania with a 10th place, so he was well prepared for the difficult track and difficult special stages. So he was also able to win the class of the over 250 cc four-stroke bikes.

A junior on the smallest displacement 125cc also put in a pleasingly strong performance: Pyry Juupaluoma from Finland rode to a sensational fifth place overall in all displacement classes! He won the junior class of the U21 riders with a lead of almost one minute.

In the women’s category, who did not ride the last extreme test, Nieve Holmes from Great Britain won on the GasGas ahead of the previous leader Justine Martel from France.

 

All weather

 

On the second day at the second round of the European Enduro Championship in Kozojedy, Czech Republic, the weather was definitely an issue. Although it was dry and warm during the day, the overnight rain had watered the track heavily beforehand.

But even under the more difficult conditions, it was the same riders who decided the victory among themselves: First and foremost local hero Krystof Kouble: „In the first lap it didn’t go well at all. I crashed once in each of the three stages and lost time. Only after half of the competition did I really get going.” But he forgot to mention, that despite the crashes, he had set the best time of all the riders.

For the other competitors also struggled with the demanding stages, which had become even more difficult due to the rain. Italian Enrico Rinaldi finished third on the unfamiliar terrain behind Dominik Olszowy and is right behind Kouble in second place  in the championship both, in the overall as in the junior E2 class.

Once again, junior Pyry Juupaluoma from Finland showed a very strong performance: on the smallest displacement 125cc, he again rode to a sensational fifth place overall! The 18-year-old also won the junior class of the U21 riders again. He thus fought his way up to third place in his championship. 

The already very demanding track was made a few notches more difficult by the overnight rain: The first lap in particular provided special challenges in the uphills but also in the downhills. Just how difficult it actually was is shown by the fact that almost half of all participants who started on Saturday did not reach the finish on Sunday in the classification. Only 66 of the original 123 riders were able to bring their bikes properly to the parc ferme at the end.

In the senior class, only six of the original 19 participants finished. Winner Martin Gottvald as well as the runner-up, Milan Skuta, were able to use their home advantage because they are used to such conditions.

Nevertheless, there were no complaints, because it was not impossible, as many riders have had shown. But the spirit of enduro racing, of fighting through and arriving at the finish, was again extremely cultivated here. No wonder that the Pole Dominik Olszowy felt so comfortable there: The guest rider, who usually focuses on the Hardenduro World Championships, used the race in the Czech Republic to prepare for the World Team Championships. In three weeks, he will compete for the Polish national team. The 21-year-old set the bar high with a second place in the overall standings on the second day of the race.

 

The next round of the European Championship, then even in Olszowy’s home country Poland, will be after the „International Six Days Enduro” (ISDE) in September.

Second round with new winners?

Second round with new winners?

 

On the weekend of 7 and 8 August, the European Enduro Championship will enter its second round in the Czech Republic after three and a half months: the KP Enduro Club has pitched its tents in Kozojedy (- Obecní Úřad), about 70 km west of Prague.

Three and a half rounds will be ridden on the 55 km long track each day, which add up to almost 200 km off-road for the riders. The course includes a cross test as well as an enduro test and an extreme test to be completed in the round.

Over 120 riders have signed up for this. It is true that the Italian riders Enrico Rinaldi and Diego Niccoletti are the favourites, as they are currently ahead of all other participants in the championship standings. But in their Czech homeland, both junior Kristof Kouble and his compatriot Jaromir Romancik should certainly not be underestimated.

 The start is on both days from 9:00 a.m.

Dyrektorem zawodów był Rafał Bracik, kierownikiem trasy Aleksander Bracik. Około 40 zawodników i conajmniej 3 razy tyle kibiców spotkało się, aby upamiętnić Zbigniewa Banasika. Bez względu na kategorie każdy zawodnik mógł przejechać wyznaczoną trasę 6 razy, natomiast do klasyfikacji generalnej liczyły się 4 najlepsze przejazdy. Nagrodzeni zostali zawodnicy w poszczególnych klasach, natomiast na wyróżnienie indywidualne zasłużyli: Piotr Szczepanek, który uzyskał najszybszy czas przejazdu okrążenia. Na Memoriale zawitał najstarszy zawodnik Ryszard Augustyn – Mistrz Świata z 1993 roku. Ryszard Augustyn, który razem ze śp. Zbigniewem Banasikiem reprezentowali w Kadrze Narodowej Polskę na arenie międzynarodowej, ale też w kraju. Na zakończenie organizatorzy przygotowali wspólny wyścig. Oczywiście należy nadmienić, że wyścigom przyglądała się żona śp. Zbigniewa Banasika-Barbara Banasik  oraz brat Zbigniewa- Krzysztof Banasik. Pan Krzysztof podsumował Memoriał następującymi słowami: „Jestem przekonany, że Zbigniew-Biniol (ksywka) byłby i jest zadowolony. Na pewno ta atmosfera, która zawsze towarzyszyła pokazaniu się jego osoby na zawodach panowała również podczas II Memoriału. Zbigniew Banasik odszedł 10 lat temu, zmarł nagle na Słowacji podczas Młodzieżowych Mistrzostw Europy, miał 56 lat.
