Enduro ends on a high note
The 2017 Bank Windhoek Namibian Enduro Championship concluded in style at Farm Elisenheim on 14 October.
The event was co-sponsored by Hemco Paints and Solsquare.
Close to 70 riders participated in the final event of the series, testing their motorbike and quad riding skills in seven competition classes, for youngsters and professionals.
Henner Rusch (KTM) had secured the Open Motorbikes Class Championship at the previous event in Otjihase and had to face a highly motivated Marcel Henle (KTM) on a demanding track in hot weather conditions.
Henle continued to clock the fastest lap of the day and was rewarded with a well-deserved first place finish. Rusch retired while Heiko Stranghoehner (KTM) secured second place with an excellent performance yet again.
Guenter Gladis (KTM) finished third to complete the podium. Henle concluded the year as championship second with Corner Visser (Sherco) in third overall, due to his fifth place at Elisenheim.
