FORZA ORZA | SWEDEN | FINAL RACE | Hard Enduro World Championship

Idiot! Yeah! Mega! No way! Right, main race has started. First lap. Heaps of track changes. Pretty stressed out. Here they are. We've got Tao, Tao, Billy, Mitch. This is pretty chaotic. It's a big rock step. Slippery than yesterday. The boys are all over the show. Forward! So we're 10 minutes after the start. They've got a good group already. Manny, Tao, Billy and Mitch just coming in now. They've already been doing the hard stuff at the top. And then they just do a little bit of easy. And here they are. I think we've got Manny in the lead, Mitch in second. Coming around for a second lap on this rock face. It's going to be interesting. Yeah! Near the finish. He's won a merch. The boys are on the second lap. Manny's just pulling the gap now. Yes! Idiot! You've got two hours, Bill. They're not that far off. Oi! It's getting closer. So we have Mitch. Mitch now just coming in second. Just behind Manny. It's Manny out in front. At the end of his second lap. Going on to his third lap now. Eddie just put a pass on Billy. No way. So I think you can see Billy going backwards a bit there. James said he hurt his wrist crashing earlier. And he's just had a really big moment right there in front of me now too. So it's not looking good for Bill. But Eddie's on a bit of a charge. Good to see. Have another go! Manny's still in the lead. Not a huge lead. Here's Mitch. Definitely still in touch. We are now 35 minutes into the race. Manny is out in front. Followed by Mitch. Then I think it's Teodoro. And I'm not sure what the other order is. Billy looked to have hurt himself. So he's just sitting back now. Still riding. Getting through it. He had a big tumble and really looked like he hurt himself. James Moore is still pushing harder. Though his goggles are still on. So it's obviously still a bit cold for the South African. I just heard Billy wince as he came down those rocks. I think his wrist is not good. Yes Toby! So there's Manny coming through around the lake. About to lap Toby. So I feel like the gap might be opening up. But let's see how long it takes for whoever is still in second place to arrive. So that was Mitch just coming through the Polar Bear Lake. He was exactly one full lap of this lake behind Manny. That's Ash in third. James Moore there just with a blown pipe. I'm not sure where that's happened. But there's plenty of rocks and stumps that could have happened running here. That mudguard is hanging on by the skin of its teeth. Luka has just fallen in the water. There's Lorenzo going past him. Oh, she's slippery! So that's Mitch in second I think. Eddie Carlson is sitting in fourth place now. He must have taken Tao somewhere in there. But yeah, he's pulling a little bit away now. One hour into the race now. And standings are still Manny, Mitch, Ash, Eddie Carlson. Mario just passing Tao on that last hill. Yes! No way! That was the best I've seen so far of everyone. And he's a lap down. But did this the best. He's clearly got something going on, hasn't he? Nice! So that was Manny going through. So Mitch is... How long do you reckon the gap is? Three minutes? Four minutes? Four? Yeah. The gap is growing a little bit. But it's starting to rain now. So. Might mix things up. I feel like this rain is... The rain is already affecting it. Hey! Nice! So Ash looking really smooth there. We've got the Brightmoors in second and third. I'll be stoked with that. Both looking really comfortable. Spot on. Yeah! Mega! No way! That was sick! Best one, eh? That was the best. Tao... Tao must be in about... He must be in sixth. Stay there. Keep on it, bro. Nice! Yes! Right. We've got Matt Green coming in. We've got Matt here. Tom Scull's behind him. And Mario on the side. Huge from Eddie. Here's Billy. Well done, Sandra! We've got Eddie in the background there. We've just lost Manny on the splat. He's come back down. It's definitely getting harder. The back of his... The plastics are broken. So Manny's just had a pretty big crash. The back of his bike's bent up. Came back off the step. Now what does he do? Manny's starter motor is broken. Something's wrong with the gear. I don't know what he's going to do now. Can you lift it and lock start it again? Lift it over this. Lock start it down there. Maybe you freeze it. So I think it's Bendix spring or something. The mechanism's just not working. It's not throwing. We're going to lift it over and then try and bump start it. So it's really turned into a war of attrition here. The boys are helping each other. Manny. Manny's bike hasn't started. I think that's it. Starter motor's done. I was just talking to Mitch's girlfriend and she was monitoring the gap. Mitch has pitted. So he's lost three minutes but he's now... The clock is ticking down. Mitch will be coming... Mitch has just pitted and he's going to come through soon. The problem is we have so much... So a bit of drama. Now we're waiting for Mitch. Here's Manny. He's back again. He's bump started his bike. So I'm not sure what his next move is. In here. So he's bump started it. They're going here. But if he stalls it, I don't think it's going to start again. So he's rolling again but... I don't know how long it's going to last. Go on Mitch. Oh yeah. He's got it. So basically Manny has to ride half a lap... Without stalling his bike. With Mitch right on his heels. See how that goes. And here's Mario and Eddie. Eddie's on fire. He's going well. The lap. So they've got to do the rest. Good go to finish. So we're on the last lap. After some serious drama. And we have Manny. Who by the looks of it has just put the hammer down. To try and pull the gap that he severely lost. Manny's kept it going. Last lap Toby. Come on. Clearly he's looking battered. The bike in him. But he's come back past Mario. The hard sections. The big rocks were so slippy. They were so slippy. Even the downhill there. Like at the restaurant. I was kind of scared to go down. I almost crashed once. One lap big time there. I was pretty gnarly. That was tiring. Very. It was a long two hours. A long two hours. When I saw the plus one. I was like. Thank God it's not another lap. I was freaking out. My bendix broke off the bike. The second last lap. I freaked out. My rear fender was like. Sideways like this. Billy's too. Billy did the same earlier. And it was like this. Where? Where you did it? Up there. Like up the step. Where you was going right. Yeah where I was going right. And there was like nine people. But he went left. He went left and came back off it. And then I went left. But not all the way left. Because there was one stalker at the top. So I had to go a bit more inside. It was so bad with the logs. And I couldn't make it. And like fall down this first flat. And somehow my bendix. I think. Maybe I touched the slip plate so hard. It's completely broken now. It's not working at all. Now it's just spinning. So you were just. No stall. No stall my friend. And then you stalled it at all? I stalled it once again. On a hill? At the training area. The first hill. And you went back down? And I like. Went down. Bump started. And did the hill two times. In the last lap. I was like. **** when is Mitch coming? Hopefully he's not coming. Honestly. I was like. My heart. When I had to bump started again. They helped me up the second log. Because I was like. With no engine. I couldn't do anything. He tried to pass me. And then I pushed all I could here. Is Toby okay? Yeah. I will ask Mario if he pushed today. Because he said he didn't push yesterday. So I was like a bit angry in the starting line. Good ride man. You were good on these logs. Yeah. Finally I find the line. And then I keep to that one. Yeah. But in the beginning it was like hard. The first lap it was like ice. Yeah. Fourth. You come fourth huh? Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. I pushed all I had. All you had. Is that your best result? I think so yeah. Cool. Yeah. I said to Mitch before the race like. As fast as you go 80%. Then go 100% and lose a minute. You go good for 50 meters and then. Yeah. There's so many things going on. Like you can't relax for one minute. It's just like. There's always little rocks. Tree roots. Holes. Yeah. But nah the track was so good. Yeah you liked that. A bit of everything. I know it's very challenging. Yeah. Like short hills. But. It's all in the terrain. Yeah. I'm so glad it worked out. Yeah. Like the championship has like so many different terrains. Yeah. I know it's a similar style but. That's what the sport is right? It's a bit of everything. You've got to be like the best man. Yeah. On every. On everyone will be the best. Yeah. You got to stick with it. A lot. You gotta stick to it. Put your mind to it. Yeah. All right. Thank you.
