Munich. Juha Salminen has taken the win at the
"Rund um Zschopau" Enduro classic. The Finn held off fellow
countryman Eero Remes to give BMW their first victory at the
prestigious event. The race held on Saturday marked the final round of
the German Enduro Championship. Salminen won the overall and the E2 class.
Zschopau used to be the center of the sport in former East
Germany. The region has plenty of enthusiastic fans who showed up in
thousands to witness brilliant motorsport and what Enduro racing is
all about: man and machine fighting the elements.
World Championship runner-up Salminen came to Saxony to end the
season with a win, fully aware that Remes was going to be his main
contender. By taking the prologue on Friday night, Salminen fired an
early warning, but the 33-year-old had to suffer through the following
day like everyone else before finally stepping on top of the podium.
The BMW factory rider won by 0.04 seconds over Remes, with Markus Kehr
and Samuli Aro next on the list of results.
Juha Salminen
: "What a perfect end to the season. Zschopau
has always been a great event. The race and the special tests were
among the best of the year, better than most of the World Championship
rounds. It´s really special to win in front of this huge crowd.
Eero gave me a hard time, guess I had that little bit of extra luck.
The bike worked perfectly."
