6 WINS OUT OF 6 POSSIBLE FOR METZELER
 

CASTIGLION FIORENTINO (ITALY), 2nd July 2012 - This weekend, Metzeler won all three categories through Eero Remes and Antoine MEO in Enduro 1, with Cristobal GUERRERO in Enduro 2, Christophe NAMBOTIN and David KNIGHT in Enduro 3.

This weekend was full of surprises for pilots Metzeler. In the Enduro 3, while Christophe NAMBOTIN knew a difficult first day, this is David KNIGHT and his Metzeler Six Days Extreme who have taken over. Briton grabbed this weekend his first win of the season.

The next day, Christophe NAMBOTIN, Metzeler rider, caught himself and gave the victory to KTM. Faced with two Metzeler riders, Joakim LJUNGGREN (Husaberg) could not do better than two second places so that Christophe NAMBOTIN score the 15 points 3rd place on Saturday as David KNIGHT on Sunday.

In Enduro 1, the raid was still in the Metzeler rider. Despite a difficult start on the first day, Antoine MEO and his Six Days Extreme tires were able to look back and bursting snatch victory on thefinal lap. The next day, despite the mechanical failure of MEO, it's his teammate Eero REMES

who won his first victory of the season and had a second win in E1 to Metzeler.

For their part, Rodrig THAIN (8 and 4) and Simone ALBERGONI (5 and 6) experienced a weekend a little more difficult.

In Enduro 2, Metzeler is also full with a magnificent victory at the second day of racing thanks to Cristobal GUERRERO. The Spaniard, who saw on every day the victory eluded him was able toward off evil. The same GUERRERO, winner on Sunday was also taking a strong second place on Saturday and at the same time takes the reins of the provisional category.

Finally in Junior, Kevin BENAVIDES from Argentina (3/4) had an excellent weekend while Rudi MORONI (8eme/5eme) was less verve than in Portugal.

Weekend once again filled with success for Metzeler with 5 wins (REMES, MEO, NAMBOTIN, KNIGHT, GUERRERO), two second places (GUERRERO, BENAVIDES) and two third row (KNIGHT, BENAVIDES).
