6 May 2012

Euskadi Spain –After the tiring South American transfer the world Enduro caravan transfer to Spain. It had rained heavily during the week and the race presents itself difficult and hard.

The Team TM Factory presents itself in Spain, motivated thanks to the great results achieved by Aigar Leok in the two previous GPs. Unfortunately it will be a trying race for the young Finish Antti Hellsten drawn up in the E1, struck by a bad tendinitis of his left wrist.

First Day- Saturday starts well with Aigar straight into the attack .Good time in the cross test and in the extreme, while a little late in the straight trial. The race, as foreseen, presents itself very trying and the arrival to the finish is already a result, seeing that many retired from the race.

Aigar absolutely wants a place on the podium, but it’s not the right day, the fall compromises the final result , therefore , after fighting to the end of the special , he takes third position.

Twelfth position for Antti Hellsten, who fought more with his tendinitis than with his opponents.

Seventeenth for Nicolò Mori, never at his best in the Spanish mud

Second Day- Aigar takes off in pain because of his fall, occurrence in the last special of Saturday, but convinced not to let go, the race is hard, very hard, and it’s confirmed by the many withdrawals registered in the three classes. Unfortunately the strong Estonian pilot doesn’t manage the have the right feeling with the muddy terrain, found in this race, ending up sixth at the finishing line.

Forced to retreat because of the unsupportable pain due to tendinitis Antti Hellsten didn’t want to compromise the next GP.

Best result for Mori twelfth at the finishing line
