Cyril Despres triumphs onboard KTM for third Red Bull Romaniacs victory
22/06/2007
The French rider wins ahead of New Zealander Chris Birch and privateer Gerhard Forster.
Frenchman Cyril Despres has been the ultimate winner of the 2007 Red Bull Romaniacs Hard Enduro Rally, his third victory in this tough event in Romania's Carpathian Mountains.
Despres, well-known for his legendary victories, won the event in 2004 and 2005 and came home in front in the final special over 190km ahead of New Zealander Chris Birch and privateer Gerhard Forster. Birch finished second overall and the German Forster was third in the final rankings. Cyril's friend and fellow Frenchman Michel Gau, who was the leader going into the final leg and who won last year, crashed into a tree 30 minutes into the start on the last day and broke his arm. Despres and Gau had shared the lead throughout the rally and he stopped to assist his friend and to wait until first aid arrived. Despres continued the race 20 minutes later unaware of how many riders had passed him.
