Enduro enters final round
The Kupferberg event is set for an action-packed day, as some Enduro riders' eye ultimate success in the competition.
The coming weekend will see the seventh and final round of Enduro Series taking place at Kupferberg.
The landfill area is known for great technical riding and is expected to create an awesome culmination to the series.
No racing has taken place at this venue for some time and the routes will test the riders, who are fighting it out for the last championship points.
Henner Rusch has wrapped up the open class, with Gunther Gladis having secured second.
Third place has not yet been secured and three riders have a chance of taking the last step onto the podium.
The master bikes class has come down to the wire, with Martin Kruger and Werner Wiese tied on points, while Jorn Greiter is only two points adrift, and a win at Kupferberg could secure him the championship.
The support bikes championship has been wrapped up by Oliver Rohrmuller, who has a 29-point lead.
The gap between second and third is, however, only two points.
Jurgen Gladis and Jaco Huselman will have a great battle to see who secures second at the end of Saturday's event.
In class 10 (beginners), JL Opperman, the quad bike rider who has now moved to two wheels, needs to finish the race to secure the top spot, as a non-finish would see Andre Marais win their battle.
Rhys Gragg is in pole position to secure third place on Saturday afternoon.
The development class, where smaller bikes and younger riders start out, will see eight riders completing.
The rules are such that a senior rider or parent can ride with the youngsters, and the shorter route helps the fuel-reach on the smaller bikes.
This, however, does not impact on the enthusiasm of the little ones nor the skills some are displaying at such a young age.
With this being the final Enduro event of the year, riders are likely to put it all on the line to secure wins in the various championships.
