ERZBERG 2005: 2-ZYLINDER KÖNIGSKLASSE ON RACEDAY ONE
27.05.2005
GIOVANNI SALA WINS THE PRESTIGIUOS DUEL FOR KTM!
One second decided on the victory to conclude at the 2-Zylinder Königsklasse, the brand-new Race Event on the first day of the Erzbergrodeo in 2005, and KTM fetches the first podium at the Erzberg! With two perfect runs over the 17.5 km long gravel piste to the Erzberg peak the KTM factory rider Giovanni Sala (ITA) secured the first podium for the Mattighofener on his KTM 950 Super Enduro.
Behind Sala, Chris Pfeiffer (DE) hammered over the finish line on this BMW HP2. Kurt Nicoll (UK) saved an impressive third place for KTM, the Motocross team manager lost 10 seconds on his fellow brand collegue Sala.
The 2-Zylinder Königsklasse created huge excitement in the city of Eisenerz, as both heats of the newly established race event were started directly at the very center of town. Thousands of spectators cheered for the 60 big-bore riders and made the event a tremendous success for the race-promotors, providing exciting race-action and the breathtaking thunder of the mighty 2 cylinder Enduro bikes.
On Friday, May 27th the Erzbergrodeo-Action continues with the SIEMENS/TELERING IRON ROAD PROLOGUE, featuring the largest field of starters in the whole Offroad scene. Up to 1.300 Enduro riders attack the Prologue gravel piste up to the peak of the Erzberg!
