Battle Mountain - Day 4 - Evening runs

We can be fairly short this time. David and Jan-Marcel were supposed to ride tonight. The circumstances appeared to be perfect. The team was ready to make some fast runs. Davids start looked good, but after about 300 meters he made a strange sweeping movement off the road into the bush. Luckily his speed was not high yet. David was not hurt when he got out of the bike. At the first inspection of the bike the front wheel fairing appeared damaged. This is tricky, because of the chance to blow a tire. We decided not to run anymore tonight. We will check the bike completely again tomorrow morning and make repairs where necessary. We will therefore not make any speed runs on friday morning. Now we will get a good nights rest; we have got enough to do tomorrow.
