The Enduropale launched in its own way the centenary celebrations of the First World War. Such amount to the hairy forehead, drivers had to brave the weather to tame apocalyptic sand and a battle that will remain in our memories. Yesterday , Le Touquet was Verdun. Winner and a funny warrior.
This is what is called taking a breath of fresh air . Wrapped from head to foot, the thousands of spectators who braved the elements were rewarded . They attended an epic spectacle that we still speak in many years, as the conditions were difficult for everyone, gusting to more than a hundred kilometers per hour and rain sleet stinging like needles . You might wonder even at a time when the race was well able to take place. But Enduropale is definitely a brilliantly unreasonable event and when the thousand pilots rushed on the beach , everyone held his breath .
In an almost indescribable chaos, then plugs formed in the early turns , forcing the amateur riders cyclists to dismount and push their craft by hand. Labor brave marshals , stoic face to the elements, however, allowed to curb the traffic fairly quickly thus not had an impact for the drivers head . For Dante's weather did not prevent the favorites going full-throttle towards their destiny .
Far from the sun of the Alpes- de-Haute- Provence, Provence Antoine Meo was the first to score the race of his footprint. Ultra fast on his KTM , this professional driver already crowned world champion three enduro , had met with the harsh climate of the Opal Coast last year and took a fifth place . In the minds of geeks, then he became the man to beat , especially that of the other contenders , Jean -Claude Moussé especially Milko Potisek let go very quickly taken .
After an hour of running , these two were already too far to expect anything other than a place of honor. Sure, the wins will play with Meo , still fast , but with the amazing pilot Degousee
Parisian Arnaud and Adrien Van Beveren
Audomarois and Belgian champion Steve Ramon, the only ones left in its wake. As we approach the last hour of the race , the pressure went up a notch in the paddocks. But that's beside the Yamaha Van Beveren that the tension was most palpable. Because over the minutes , the young northerner pilot clawing precious seconds , and as he had planned a refueling unless the leader , he had a huge hit to play.

Van Beveren , winning strategy
And the inevitable happened . While Meo was forced to stop for a third time at its booth , missing the way to take the wheel in a microwave TV , Van Beveren took the first place. While delayed engaged a real fight against themselves, to go after this infernal race , Van Beveren avoided the traps last and final rush Antoine Meo . Finally, after a little over three hours of racing , the young pilot audomarois passed under the checkered flag.
Under a new shower of sleet, the hero of the day knelt on the sacred sand and implored the sky so insane . Le Touquet had crowned the best of his warriors .
