There will be more thrills and chills at the Bank Windhoek Enduro Championship with some of the riders separated by tiny margins.
The Bank Windhoek Namibian Enduro Championship is entering the final stages of the championship season this coming weekend.
Round five of seven will be taking place at Ababis, close to Karibib.
In the open motorbike class, Marcel Henle (KTM) and Henner Rusch (KTM) have two victories and 74 championship points each after four events, and round five of the season in Ababis will see one of the two taking the lead.
Equally tight, Kai Hennes (KTM) and Corner Visser (Sherco) are tied on 39 Points for third place.
Joern Greiter's (KTM) winning streak was interrupted in the Senior Motorbike Riders' Class at the last event in Uis, where he finished fourth after winning all races of the season before. David Brown (KTM) and Werner Wiese (KTM) closed the gap in the championship and are back in contention for the top spot.
In the Clubman's Motorbike Class, championship leader Jurgen Gladis (KTM) is on home turf and is the favourite to extend his lead over second-placed youngster Liam Gilchrust (Husqvarna).
However, Duard Wiese (KTM) has been in strong form recently, scoring a victory in Otjihase and finishing second in Uis.
Teddy Kausch (KTM) and young talent Keanu Weber-Trianus (KTM) are developing an interesting competition for the lead in the Off-road Bike Class.
Weber-Trianus finished on top of the podium at Uis, and will seek to repeat this at Ababis.
In the Development Class for youngsters, Dylan Hilfiker (KTM) has a comfortable championship lead. Levin Quinger (KTM) is expected to provide him with a challenge for first place finish at Ababis.
In the Open Quads Class, J L Oppermann (Honda) has accumulated a comfortable gap to the second and third placed riders, while 2016 champion Shannon Rowland (Honda) will seek to remain in the lead of the Ladies Quad Class.
