If you ever thought that hard enduros were just a load of folk out for a mooch along some lanes on their bikes, think again. As the video below shows, they are a pretty relentless stream of seemingly impossible to cross obstacles, with what seems like no time in between to catch your breath. I'm getting tired just watching this!
Even the first few seconds of this video take my breath away. Right out of the gate, Lettenbichler is waved off and instantly on the pace, hammering past photographers on one wheel while traveling at over 50mph.
And it’s not just the speed on the open stages or wheelies for the camera. Knock the video forward 15-mins and you’ll see him climbing streams and rivers that wouldn’t look out of place on a clubman trial event. And he’s on a bloody enduro bike!

Manuel Lettenbichler eventually took the win from Alfredo Gomez, 2nd, and Graham Jarvis, 3rd. The win would have been all the sweeter for Lettenbichler as the Brit Graham Jarvis had one the event on seven out of the previous eight visits. Jarvis is still the most successful rider at the event to date.
