Touratech Racing is ready for the Romaniacs

With the Red Bull Romaniacs starting soon, Touratech Racing's two Extreme Enduro riders Gerhard Forster and Jens ter Jung hardly had time to catch their breath after their fantastic performance at the Austrian Erzberg Rodeo. In the Carpathian Mountains our riders and team will be facing one of the biggest off road challenge there is, lasting five days.

Since 2004 Enduro maniacs from all over the world come to Sibiu, hobby riders testing their personal limits as well as professionals competing with the world's top Enduro riders.

For Touratech Racing Gerhard Forster and Jens ter Jung will be at the starting line. While Forster had already been on the podium twice, ter Jung will ride the Red Bull Romaniacs for the first time. But the seven times German trials champion might be good for a surprise. Last but not least amateur rider Rolf Epting will compete in the Hobby Single Class. All three Touratech riders will be on Husqvarna TE 449.

With an extreme event like the Red Bull Romaniacs the correct preparations and technical maintenance / repairs are crucial. This hard job requiring long working hours will be done by team mechanics Lars Würdemann and Jan Hagedorn.

Starting on Saturday, 16 June, we will keep you in the loop and let you know what's going on in Romania. Just keep an eye on the Touratech Facebook Account and have a look at our webpage www.touratech.de. So cross your fingers for Touratech Racing - good luck with the Red Bull Romaniacs, "one of the toughest extreme motorcycle events on planet earth".
