really love it it’s my favorite race of the Year love is a strong word for having so many rocks in the race but I enjoy my presence here this epic event has something for everyone like the privateers only meet his rocket ride don’t try to stop I ain’t stopping till I run the [Music] world I ain’t stopping till I run the [Music] world and it’s also home to one of the wildest parades you’ve ever seen I’m the type to fight I never been the one to quit my against the fight I win I win I’m never giving in I’m never giving up I’m a winner and I’m fighting until my hands up you can’t defeat me I’m different I’m From Another World Stop me I Ain stop until I run and of course the mindboggling main event the Red Bull zburg Rodeo where 500 Riders explode from this chaotic Quarry and the most massive Mass start in the series the world’s top Riders are back to attack this legendary course pushing their limits on its Insane Terrain [Music] we’re roaring into round two of the 2024 fim hard and duro World Championship good in t harisburg celo day one prologue my goal is to open the gas like this put a zip tie around it two for security and just drop the clutch the weather here is like on off kind of drizzly rainy sunny little bit of it all I’m just waiting for snow at this point honestly it’s going to be pretty exciting you know um if you always go wide open up a hill like six GE wide open we definitely don’t want to crash so um yeah trying to have a good speed up there and I’m feeling pretty fast today got the speed suit on so definitely it’s going to be a good day but nerves are definitely there so good morning everybody we’re here iron row prologue 2024 things are going to get kicked off and the guys are going to have a nice jump for breakfast so who’s going to be fastest today two days of this remember fastest day gets the best pick on that front row starting order for Sunday’s main [Music] race the Black Ladder iron robe prologue spans two days of intense speed every Rider is fying for the fastest time aiming for a spot in the first row of 50 riders in the championship race Manny let mler is the first to hit the track the defending Red Bull zburg Rodeo Champion flies through the [Music] [Music] course securing a solid fifth place in both Heats and easily earning a spot in the coveted first row position T kachev is currently second in the series trailing leton Bigler by just four fim points he aims to close that Gap with a prologue [Music] win and there are also Four Points separating kachev and third place Mario Roman but Roman’s best time from both Heats will leave him with a 12th Place finish at the prologue PA tares is known for riding his heavy Yamaha teny 700 but in his second lap he decides to use his factory Yamaha 252 stroke a bike that’s going to be easier to haul over the rocks in the hard and duro this is American Supercross sensation Carson Brown competing here for the first time he had a decent showing for a newcomer finishing eighth [Music] [Music] overall Junior Riders are also fighting for the best starting position and fim points in their own series British Rider Mitch Bitmore is currently leading the fim junior Championship but it’s 16-year-old Austrian Valentino Hooter who takes the top points in the junior category in a race like this Spanish Speed Demon Joseph Garcia is a favorite he’s one of the fastest off-road racers in the world the Unstoppable force behind ktm’s uro GP dominance unsurprisingly he dominates both prologue days with the best times how is he reading that trade [Music] yes wo give me a whip but the pro Rider to take the first fim points of the race is fourth place Wade young now the eight-time zburg finisher is on the hunt for his first Podium at the Red Bull zburg [Music] Rodeo so most of the guys are through most of them saying it’s probably a lot more choppier maybe feels faster cuz it’s moving around but I think any of the guys that got caught in that M yesterday might have gone faster will a few of the names stay on the front row we’ll have to wait and see this afternoon here are the results from both days of the Black Ladder iron Road prologue and these three Riders receed the first fim points of the race Wade Young’s result moves him from sixth to fourth in the overall standings car to the second one obviously I had a decent go in the first one so just took it steady tried to stay on the bik had a crash but it is what it is little crash um hopefully should be enough to stay on the front row yeah I had a lot of fun was uh lucky enough to make good time uh top 11 so quite happy is my best result at the moment in nine years I try to not have any crash let’s say because when I start I jump and I see the first left with the chicken with all the bombs and the rocks in the middle of our our way I say it’s going to be difficult to make better and it’s also very sketchy and dangerous I just want to get in one piece into the Star Line tomorrow and yeah we did it excitement builds in the padic as Riders prepare for the extreme Enduro that awaits it’s uh going to be a gnarly race I’m all in for it we did a prologue qualified you have to uh qualify top 50 to be on the front row as you can see there’s about a gazillion Rose back here going to be a ton of racers going to be a lot of drag in the bike everywhere and carned this is the Red Bull sburg Rodeo 2024 there have only been 13 winners in the history of this race for the last two editions the top of the podium belonged to Manny ller now he’s on the hunt for his third Red Bull zburg Rodeo title the first 50 Riders burst from the start British Rider will gets the hole shot followed by Germany’s Chris gundan for a brief moment it seems like the defending zburg champ has some real competition then Manny makes his move pushing ahead of gamman at checkpoint [Music] one just under 30 minutes into the race he battles kachev [Music] but kabach makes an error and leton Bigler comes out on top and things get worse for kachev he doesn’t know it yet but he missed checkpoint 5 and this will have [Music] consequences now the follow pack consists of Johnny Walker Wade young Michael wner and Mario [Music] Roman one of the Riders missing from this group is Tristan Hart at the beginning of the race Hart is at the heart of some Carnage he goes down up the start and his bike becomes an unexpected obstacle for the rest of the first row Riders Who’s down in the middle there’s loads of chaos bar map look like that’s a Red Bull bistan H down better let him go through [Music] no good forr at checkpoint one the Canadian is in 22nd position but he’s determined to change that climbing past the top talent he grinds his way through the ranks 40 minutes into the race Hart makes an outstanding overtake of Wade young and moves into fourth place now he’s got Johnny Walker in his [Music] sight when you get across this Diner you can’t see the line cuz you just look at it all the rocks look the same you just got to avoid them big holes sometimes a bit of little bit further around to make it better now that was a nice bridge that was in the front there’s a familiar scene as leton mler starts to pull a gap there’s a question at the top of everyone’s mind who if anyone can beat the mighty Manny leton Bigler right now one of the Riders who has the best chance of catching leton bickler is Johnny Walker but over 40 minutes in at the section known as Carl’s dinner light Walker’s front break is damaged as he frantically Works to fix the issue Tristan Hart rolls over the boulders into third behind heart Wade young and Mario Roman also bypass Walker now the gas gas Rider and his former sherko teammates start their fight for fourth [Music] not long after Walker is able to get his bike up and running again and gets back into the mix with the South African and the Spanish competition behind Walker seemingly from out of nowhere the Silent Assassin is living up to his name Graham Jarvis started in 30th position now in the infamous Carl’s dinner this Legend moves into sixth [Music] [Music] [Music] then over 90 minutes into the race the five-time Red Bull zburg Rodeo

side of the Hill has had no s whatsoever greasy has but there’s a big drop to the left he doesn’t want to be going down [Music] there well done man later Graham Jarvis finds himself stuck in the same

speeches H another in the in my pocket there was so much pressure so much pressure and I I had such a s and um I was just so so stoked to get into the front and then like took my time could pull a gap which was really really nice and I feel like I’m definitely on my peak of my career I’m trying to enjoy it as much as possible my riding my physical um mentally side and I think that’s one of the best thing ever so one day is coming you know but not yet my race was pretty good maybe the best I’ve ridden here uh pretty hard to beat Manny here to be honest he rides here a lot he lives so close so it’s to beat him here won’t be won’t be an easy thing to do but looking forward to the challenge and hopefully when one of these years coming up I can do it yeah it was a tough day I will say I was expecting to feel better and feel stronger but I don’t know like I didn’t feel so good in the Rocks I felt like I had no energy I cannot RVE with technique I was like battling through the rocks and then after there was few surprises in the forest I was able to make in one shot and I was battling with graham until the end we help each other in motores Highway and I was able to yeah get the top three is amazing I have to be happy for sure you always want more but lady and Tristan were flying in the Rocks especially and yeah definitely I have to come back next year to try to get that win um getting more comfortable with the back I actually really had fun out riding um the sections I went up a all good so yeah was a tough race man like the guys that got up the hill there in the beginning made quite a big gap so uh that was quite tough but overall pretty happy I had a decent start I think I was in the top five at least a lot of things did go right for me but I just lack a bit of I don’t know what it probably experienced to be honest I’m quite new to this so just keep coming back year and year out and uh rest tonight um and then we fly back home and then straight back to work
