The third round of the Danish DH cup was held on Fyn at a place called Ruehede. A fairly flat and not that difficult track, where keeping speed trough berms and rock is important. As usually on Fyn it was raining almost all weekend so the track was quite slick.
Kasper and myself was going to race on sunday, so we got one day of training in before the finals. Saturday went good, we got our lines dialed in and knew where the track going. So we went home to Kaspers apartment and go a good night of sleep.
Sunday morning we arrived at the track a couple of hours before the race began so we could get some runs in and get a feeling of the bikes. As usually ind Denmark we were running the Maxxis EXO tires for fast and lighter rolling. The Marzocchi suspension was also stiffened up so the Legend and the Last pedaled better.
At 12 pm the race began so Kasper and I warmed up together. Kasper was up first on his home track and posted a fast time of 47 seconds which he was happy with. The next time he posted was a 45.7 which meant that he ended up 2nd on the day and defending his 2nd from Randers. Kasper is now sitting in 2nd spot in the overall. Last up was myself with a good run coming in fastest on both my runs and ended up #1 and #2 for 222Racing.
Overall it was a good weekend of racing and good times. The next round will be at Slettestrand a new venue.
222Dirt Jam - Fyn:
The actual first round of the 222Dirt Jam was held on Lars´ pumptrack which is a super fun little pumptrack with some jumps. The format of the event is pretty chilled with a catch up race, with a timed seeding. Until the race we had lots of fun on the fresh prepped track. Come race time we had to do two timed laps on the track, where I was the fastest by a couple of seconds. First up was the faster riders against the slower. In the end I was in the final which I won. Overall it was fun day with a good vibe. Next round is going down on Mols on a new build pumptrack.
