Well we made it back, six lambretta started the endurance but only three completed. One dropped out because they didn't like the competitive nature of the event, one dropped out as "it wasn't his cup of tea". This is seriously hardcore and I was no way fit enough to do a hill climb on the second stage and had to be hauled to the top in a pick up. on the descent from 2500m i had an accident and broke my left thumb so I dropped out. Congratulations to Thomas fro Italy who won, Laurant from France who came second, and our own Martin Robinson who came third.
We are going back next year and I need to do some serious work on my weight, fitness and chain smoking.
Special thanks to Jarv at Lambretta Rehab for building a bullet proof engine and Sash for the dyno work setting things up.
We are in the process of sorting out a van for next year so the scooters can travel before the riders who can fly out. Watch this space.
If yo want more information contact Martin Robinson or me
