The opening round of the 2012 French Enduro Championship held in Réquista was reduced to a one-day event as heavy rain and strong winds prior to the start of the second day’s competition forced the organisers to bring the event to a premature end. With numerous trees having fallen across the course the decision was taken to cancel the day for fear of doing irreversible damage to the course.

Despite the disappointment of having to cancel the second day, the opening day’s competition delivered some great racing with KTM riders Antoine Meo, Jeremy Tarroux and Christophe Nambotin topping the Enduro1, Enduro 2 and Enduro 3 classes respectively. Husaberg’s Mathias Bellino claimed victory in the Enduro Junior class.

Great disappointment, the sadness on every face, but it should be understood that the test run under these conditions would not ensure the necessary security and could jeopardize the practice of discipline in the region.

Saturday's ranking therefore gives provisional classification of the Championship of France Enduro before the second trial, Aiglun, 16 and 17 June next.

These are 1075 pilots who took off for the seventh edition of the Le Touquet Enduropale and 865 that have been classified. The race went on a special shape of snowy inclement weather and reduced to an audience. Jean-Claude Moussé who had already won twice Touquet Enduro added to his tally this Sunday Enduropale 2012 fulfilling his greatest dream. Great regret this year, that the final ranking was not the ranking of arrival. As in 2011, the Commissioners have messed up afterwards. In 2011, the winner had been downgraded due to a non-compliant exhaust, this is the second year Nicolas Aubin who was a victim of the rules are applied. Ran dry, he received outside help to get into the pits and refuel. And it is strictly forbidden, it has therefore been imposed: a penalty turn, losing the second place overall.

The concept is an endurance race that takes place over three days, 200 km 3 circuits each forming three clover-shaped loops around the town of Mende in Lozère, times larger for competitors to take advantage of scenic beauty (Margeride, Gevaudan, Gorges du Tarn) away from the stress of the championships, a race open to all in which the "leeks" can compare their times with the stars of the discipline.

26 years, a quarter of a century that Clover was born from the will of the Moto Club Lozère and AMV, a partner in the first hour and always faithful.
I also want to thank all our sponsors, many of the local communities, but also the world of motorcycling, advertisers program, the mayors of municipalities crossed by the test and private owners for parcels where we put our crampons to achieve our special.

This year, the plotters offer to make a big loop on the Causses and the Tarn Gorges on the first day, Margeride the second day and cross the Gevaudan Sunday. Beautiful are the special program for this 26th Clover AMV Lozère, Mende with return on every night for the special drink of the Mende Lauze Vabre.

On Sunday, the Trophy Thierry Castan with a surprise for you, spectators and drivers, and then the awards ceremony and closing ceremony.

Mika makes us higher than what an athlete can claim and any person, a great example ...

The big question in 2012 is ‘can a Belgian rider win the FIM World Motocross Championship?’ It’s been four years now since Steve Ramon picked up the 2007 FIM World MX1 Championship. Since Joel Robert won Belgium a World 250cc Championship way back in 1964, Belgium has often had a World Champion in a calendar year. Only missing out in a handful of years.
FIM World MX1 contender and Belgian’s favorite to win a World Championship is Clement Desalle, a fighter who proved last year that he can be the fastest rider in the World. However, he needs to work on consistency to be able to match the legendary Antonio Cairoli.

After Desalle it’s pretty thin pickings, with veterans Kevin Strijbos and Ken De Dycker reaching their expiration date and not a single Belgium contender in the MX1 class after these three. Only Joel Roelants and Jeremy Van Horebeek in the MX2 class stand out as possible contenders for the future, although both are very inconsistent and yet to really show the speed of the leading MX2 contenders.
Add to the fact that Belgium’s last World Motocross Champion Steve Ramon seems sure likely to retire (although there is talk of a comeback) due to a serious back injury, it just adds to the worries of the small country.
For the first time in many years Belgium won’t have a round of the FIM World Motocross Championship this year, with Lommel preferring to put its energies into this year’s Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations.
Another problem in Belgium is the closing of practice tracks and race circuits.

Motocross legends Stefan Everts, Joel Smets and Eric Geboers have been fighting hard against the local governments to keep circuits open, but with little luck. Even Everts home track Neeroeteren, which has hosted several Grand Prix and was the training track for both Stefan and his father Harry (a four times World Motocross Champion), closed a couple of years ago despite a great rally by the Motocross supporters. Recently the famous Kester circuit closed to racing and of course a few years ago Namur ceased to run Motocross races.
When you consider that the top ten all-time FIM World Motocross Championship winners list contains Stefan Everts, Joel Robert, Joel Smets, Roger De Coster, Eric Geboers, Georges Jobe and Harry Everts, then you can understand that Belgium is the land of the giants. Like the fictional television program of the 1960’s it seems like its time is also running out, as countries like Italy, France and Germany take over as the leading in World Motocross.

Fortunately with the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations being held in Lommel in September, the Belgian fans have a lot to be happy.

By Geoff Meyer - Enduro Geographic.

Enduro Geographic: More and more pilots of many countries, there are more levels and much more competition in the rally ..?

.

Josep Maria: Fortunately, the race has been growing and increasing participation, so that competition is increasing and more teams are forced to commit a minimum of errors if they are eligible for a good result..

.

Enduro Geographic: We have been told that the air we breathe in the race is fantastic and very familiar, we can say about this ..?

.

Josep Maria: I am part of the opening team and we can only share with participants the last two or three camps and the atmosphere is really great, it's like a family that travels long distances every day. I always remember the caravans of settlers in western movies where collaboration between families is unconditional.

Enduro Geographic: For those who do not want to run, is also available on the Raid option to follow the rally route to Lake Rose in Dakar, we could explain how it works ..?

.

Josep Maria: The Raid is another great way to meet both career spanning countries. Usually leave the camp behind race cars and are a part of the course of these, more or less long according to their difficulty and when left joining the tour of the assists. Always accompanied by a vehicle of the organization and freedom of following one day attendances if they do not want to get into the tracks.

.

Enduro Geographic: We were in Africa on occasion, but with your experience as you explain to someone who has never been in a race like this and not know Africa, which is what you can find in this great adventure ..?

.

Josep Maria: Africa is a spectacular with amazing scenery and wonderful people and very welcoming. From the hand of a good organization can reveal very beautiful and have moments that will remain engraved in our minds permanently and safely. As race recovers the spirit of adventure of the most mythical times, with the security measures offered by new technologies such as Iritrack that allows the organization to know the position of all participants at all times, or requiring hidden waypoint participants to go through a certain point and thus can not be separated too far from the planned course.

Go on a bike or car in the forest lands and natural areas is no longer a crime, even to sports in these areas, too. This is intended Administrative law simplifications that promotes Catalan Govierno. The new law include the possibility of allowing motorized access tracks and roads narrow, less than four metres less wide. Something that until now prohibited by law since 1995. It also eliminates restrictions that prohibit motor sports competition in protected areas. With only three articles, is to turn around like a law in our opinion meaningless, which carries 16 years in force, but whose implementation has been a continuing headache for the Administration.
The Catalan Govierno relax the law, harshly criticized by fans of motorcycles, manufacturers and sportsmen who practice various specialties of the motor in the mountains.
Enduro by Geographic remember the "Agents Forest" is directly affected thousands of people working in the motor industry, Textile and endless sports shops, related to this sector generates many jobs and also promotes tourism and consumption, without going too far on 2 and April 3, 2011 World Enduro Pons opened in Catalonia and throughout this week flocked journalists around the world and lots of tourists from France, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Finland's, etc. .., are filled area hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, clubs and petrol stations, and cities where the tour makes a career as Basell, smelled, PONS, Tiurana, VILLANOVA DE L'ACUTE and many more areas of Lleida.

The Catalan Govierno lift the ban on driving on roads and tracks less than four meters wide defining specific itineraries. They operate under specified conditions may be less stringent. And for this, the counselor will approve the appropriate orders, which allow motorized traffic on these roads. Now, surveillance is such that, to move into the forest, groups of more than three motorcycles must obtain special authorization. Instead, what you're looking for with this change is "defining roads or sections of routes, which may have less than four meters wide, in which the groups can move without permission," said Josep Escorihuela, CEO of Medi Natural .
The veto will not rise indiscriminately, but that the measure is bounded to "the requests made by the motorcycling federation of Spain and other groups that have requested to have the easiest access to the mountain, even if paying", a possibility that the Government of Catalunya is not only not rule but is studying.

The law removes the ban on sporting events in the natural areas of basic protection (the plan of natural areas, Pein), where cars and motorcycles can now move only on roads and paved runways. The problem is that current law creates great uncertainty. The Catalan government is granting permits to hold the motor racing, but have warned that legal services are "false", says Escorihuela, so the change has been made legal.

In addition, sports competitions may also be carried out in special protection areas, game reserves and wildlife nature reserves. In these areas, the races are not timed sections and will not necessarily take the paved ground, but may devise "by roads suitable for motorized traffic, the report of the managing body of space and in accordance with the authorizations," he indicated.

For the longest time, the prohibition of driving on roads or roads of less than four meters wide has led to continuous disputes among users of motorcycles and forest officials. Motorists have complained that the regulation is too strict and unleashed a bike phobia against them, from Enduro Geographic.com, remember the "Forestry agent" and "protectors of the environment ", which are in the wrong people and that motorists do not build roads, housing estates and hotels on the mountain, no trees cut down or burned forests to develop, do not throw trash, abandoned vehicles on the mountain and we are not the guinea pig, "we pay their frustrations "just enjoy the bike" on the mountain that is all, "does not belong only to you, at all.! and not the "messiah sent by God to protect" the Smurfs ", we are not Gargamell!, we also protect and safeguard the forests and mountains.

Tickets available for the Grand Prix Spain

Ivan CERVANTES, do you recover after your winter injuries?
Ivan Cervantes: Yes, everything is ok now. But such an injury is very handicapping for a professional rider. To be stopped for injury during 1 month makes you unconsciously lose the high level’s rhythm.
Ivan, what do you think of those 2 first GP in Spain and Portugal?
IC: This championship will be difficult for me. But the Grand Prix of Spain was a real and very good surprise and that enabled me to conceal the skeptics. Many people thought that I would have adaptation’s problems with GAS GAS….
So, how do you feel inside the Team Gas Gas?
IC: Indeed, I fell like at home!! And actually, I am really at home. I fell
very well as in a big family. One saw you drive and live in motor home during the 2 first Grand Prix
IC: We get along perfectly with Laia, my fiancée. I fell very well with her. Laia knows me well and can understand me. Her presence is important for me and with the motor home we can do a little break with the Team. The race days are long during the Grand Prix of Enduro.
During the prize giving ceremony of the Grand Prix AMV Seguros of Spain, we saw you with a Catalan flag….
IC: Yes indeed… It was a “bet” with the Catalan Deputy. But, I am proud to be Spanish even if, of course, I feel as Catalan. Catalonia supported me at lot on my motorcycles’ beginnings and in particular the Catalan Motorcyclist Federation and I would like to thank them.

Red Bull Teka KTM Factory team manager Stefan Everts was excited entering the Grand Prix of Bulgaria. Having watched his riders work hard throughout the winter, he was delighted with the boys preparation and motivation for the 2011 season.
With the Championship favorites in both MX1 and MX2 (Antonio Cairoli and Ken Roczen), in the KTM team there will always be pressure and expectations. We talked to Stefan about his riders and what he expects from them.
Q: Stefan, watching Ken Roczen racing in America looked really excited, but it was also at times wild. It must have been nice to have him back in Europe?
Everts: This year I don't have much stress, everything went good with the guys, I mean, the MX2 guys. I was happy that Ken came back from US in one piece and he put in some training in Lommel for two weeks. I also advised him to do that and he did that.
Q: How about Jeffrey Herlings, how has his preparation been?
Everts: Jeffrey’s shoulder came good and he was on it from December. He has put in a lot of hours on the bike and he is in good shape. He is ready for it, he wants to race for the Title. We all know, and he knows that Ken is the favorite, but he is going to try and beat him of course.
Q: And Jeremy Van Horebeek is back in orange. How has it been working with him?
Everts: The third guy is Jeremy, he had a good ending of last season and my ambition is that he gets to his full potential. He didn't train as much as he should have in the past, but this winter he has really worked hard and he had full confidence in me helping him with his riding and training. He stepped it up and did some good pre-season races and I expect some good results this season.
Q: Jeremy seems like a fun guy, always smiling and playing around?
Everts: He is a bit of a joker, it's good to have fun, but at some point you need to stop the joking and get serious and we are working on that. Jeffrey also has his thing, everyone does. I was relaxed and excited to come into this season and it was the first year I felt that (as team manager). I see how well everyone is doing and the good shape they are all in.
Q: How is the first race of the season for you, as a team manager, but also when you raced?
Everts: It is always special, the first race of the season and for sure the first Grand Prix. At the end I was more relaxed, but still it would give some extra butterflies in the stomach and for sure these guys have that also.
Q: Did you ever have a start to a season that you were not happy with, where you felt unprepared?
Everts: I remember in 1995 when I came back after losing the Title from Greg (Albertyn) in 1994. I was so disappointed and nearly quit racing at one point in that winter. I stepped into the season with not so much motivation and it was a year I don't easily forget and the bad stuff that kept happening to me. I cut my knee at my home track in Belgium, also my car got stolen, some races didn’t go well and in Switzerland I did a bad moto and got passed on the last corner. Things were not that great in that season. Other seasons I was looking forward to going out and racing.
