Gallas and Tarres Duel in New Adventure Ultimate Category

Enduro University fans were treated to an incredible sight during the Sibiu prologue as the new Adventure Ultimate category saw stars like Pol Tarres and Kevin Gallas battling on 700cc machines. Gallas put on a heroic display on his Yamaha, going head-to-head with Tarres through the technical sections before a minor mistake on the final concrete wall relegated him to a hard-fought fourth place.

This new class is designed to show exactly what modern adventure bikes are capable of in extreme conditions, and the early feedback from the competitors suggests it is the most demanding challenge yet for the big-bore bikes. As the race heads into the mountains, all eyes are on how these heavyweights will handle the notorious Carpathian mud and steep climbs that have historically humbled even the lightest factory two-strokes.
