Il Ciocco , February 15, 2014
The button is pressed on time at 15:30.
The elevator to Hell's Gate 2014 Metzeler begins its descent into the hell of Ciocco . If the preliminary competition of the morning was relentless , saving only 45 of the 124 starters , the apotheosis night of the event is a milestone in the history of the Far page .
Jonny Walker is the fastest at the start. The wriggles his KTM in the serpentine curves of soapy mud and vegetation disappears in the Mountain. On the first pass the waterfall , the situation changes , Graham Jarvis takes the lead . In the last part of the " Viscidone " that ended the first lap , Walker pays a mistake and also gives way to Cody Webb. Jarvis, Webb, Cody, this is the order of passing on the first lap . The race is quite fast , the ground "holds" , but it requires a huge stress of attention. The snake of the thirty finalists stretches inexorably , and the shadow of the thirty -minute delay , the " gate" out- race looming since the very beginning of Hell's Gate Metzeler 2014.
Jarvis, Walker and Webb proceed in the order , the officer Husqvarna front six minutes , the American Beta delayed by just a few seconds from the KTM rider . On the second pass of the Cascade 8 Pilots remain in the race , but a little later, at the end of the second lap , leave the scene even Dan Hemingway and Maurizio Lenzi .
As the sun begins to decline , continues the journey to the center ... Far . Jarvis Walker, Webb , Andreas Lettembichler Diego Nicoletti and Ben Hemingway opens the third round . Jarvis is a Martian , and grinding stones , miles and opponents. The cascade becomes the watershed of Hell's Gate Metzeler 2014. At the third passage Walker now pays 8 minutes, almost ten Webb . Lettembichler is a little less than twenty minutes and Diego Nicoletti , best of Italian , touches the "conviction" , but that will come at the end of the tour. The " Devil" remains inflexible, and does not indulge in the "prayer" of the reduction path : five laps were in the program, and five remain until the end of an edition treacherous , exhausting , memorable.
The top four " sticks " the final part of Hell's Gate in 2014 , in which are the headlights to open a passage into the night in search of the track , impossible to memorize . Salamander Creek , the beaches , the Donkey and the nightmare of Salto waterfall, almost eerie, claustrophobic canyon final . Two more steps for each station of the hellish journey by Fabio Fasola before entering the grand finale 's Peak , the climb impossible, and rely on the passion of the spectators armed with ropes and hooks. The fourth round is fatal to Ben Hemingway, and advancing safe Jarvis undermines the last hopes of Andreas Lettenbichler , which gives the waterfall , and finally Cody Webb. The American Beta is the latest rider to leave the scene .
The Hell's Peak as it is always crowded audience , and viewers who are , in the best tradition of Hell's Gate Metzeler grant last pass to the winner and the " survivors ." Graham Jarvis is presented alone , preceded by the glow of the light of his Husqvarna . Try to climb alone, but immediately renounce and let go into the arms of the public that leads him to the last tooth of the climb impossible. Staggering , the Englishman pulls up to the podium to seal his new victory. With four consecutive wins , tonight Graham Jarvis is the new record holder of Hell's Gate Metzeler . With a barrage of 11 hits, Fabio Fasola and Ciocco enhance the most modern and intriguing legends of motorsport off-road .
