- Pol Tarrés Makes History with Silver Class Red Bull Romaniacs Ténéré 700 Finish
Hard enduro rider and Yamaha rally racer Pol Tarrés has completed yet another remarkable feat on the Ténéré 700, taking a respectable finish in the Silver Class at the 2024 Red Bull Romaniacs - an event renowned for being one of the toughest Hard Enduro races in the world.
Set up by ex-Snowboarder Martin Freinademetz, Red Bull Romaniacs is a gruelling hard enduro event which sees riders take to some of the hardest terrain and obstacles of any hard enduro event. The event is so difficult, most of the riders who attempt to take it on year on year fail to finish.
Three years ago, Tarrés made history by becoming the first rider to finish in the Bronze Class on a twin-cylinder bike. He returned to Romaniacs in the following two years, but two crashes prevented him from fighting for the Bronze Class race win.
Deciding to push the limits one step further for 2024, Tarrésentered the Silver Class - breaking records by becoming the first rider in history to both enter and finish the category on a twin-cylinder motorcycle.
Out of 113 riders competing in this class, Pol and his Ténérebattled through some testing and trying times, eventually crossing the line in a spectacular 60th place. The race didn’t come without its challenges, though. The 30-year-old was forced to relinquish several positions while he fixed his radiator after colliding with a piece of wood which briefly halted his charge. Fixing it himself, he soldiered on and finished the race up the remarkable Gusterita Hill Climb in front of a sea of cheering spectators.
There was more delight for the Ténéré 700 too, as Kevin Gallas secured Bronze Class victory aboard his Ténéréfollowing a difficult race. A big crash on the morning of the final day left his victory in doubt, but teamwork with Pol’s Trece Racing team and Kevin’s own squad saw him get back into the race and take the class win.
Pol Tarrés
“I decided to race in the Silver Class after Martin Freinademetz challenged me to do it. I have to say, this was the craziest and most challenging thing I’ve ever done. It was tougher than Erzbergrodeo, the altitude record or anything else I’ve tried. I was super exhausted and sometimes even doubted whether I can keep racing for 4 days in a row at this level. It was a strong fight within myself but every day I managed to pass my limits and that kept me motivated. It was also my dream to finish with the Gusterita Hill Climb. The audience really gave me that extra energy! I’m very happy for Kevin as well, he gave more than 100% and that’s what matters in a race like this.”
Incredible, can't imagine myself riding on such narrowed and stiff inclined terrain. My forearms wouldn't give up. A huge amount of energy is required.
managing the weight of that bike for so long in that terrain :O
Great job!
I just did 2700 miles dirt forest roads with connecting back country paved roads, Canada to Mexico border using GPS tracks. Pacific divide ranges, Cascade and Sierra Nevada ranges. 2 weeks with chase truck and hotels. Bought a Husky 701 for the ride. Great bike, it's just a big dirt bike after day 3.
Glorious
I saw you last year in Sibiu, it was very impressing!!! What a god on this bike!
Thanks so much for the clip Pol. This is the exact course I did with my Goldwing last year, which means mine is bigger (no pun intended (?)).
O fas molt bé 💪
Hi Pol. I am watching all the way from S.Africa i used to own a Yamaha WR450F. I wished that one day i would buy an offroad bike again just to go and ride gain experience. I used to ride all sorts of trail like cattle trail mountain bike trails fire trails rocky trails which i didnt like due to the lack of experience and friends who didnt care much about me having the lack of experience. I like watching your videos its makes want to buy an offroad bike even more.
Incredible riding. You are an inspiration!
I was sitting on the edge of my couch the whole time, trying to mentelly help you push that bike up. Amazing effort, you're a legend. I only wish that there were a tiny bit more footage of the finish section, and also some commentaries or informative subtitles would also be nice. Your performance would deserve just a little but more professional editing.
Still, it is really awesome to watch, good luck for the upcoming races!
si la moto no sube, la sube Pol a peso. Menudo animal
El mejor! Un crack!
Ты просто красавчег!! Когда новые видео сикер???🎉
Incredible what you can do on that bike. What about a digital angel sensor on the bike and a small display in the corner of the screen. Camera never does the steepness justice.
Was the bike overheating on those slow technical hills? Or what was that steam coming from the engine?
WOW! Please Pol tell us, how the camera was positioned?
under the helmet visor
35:00 Pol Tarres, gran piloto, mejor psicólogo
pd. hay catalanes hasta en el fin del mundo 🤣🤣🤣
Pol si hace eso con una moto de mas de 200 kilos y menos de 80cv que haria con una ktm 690 o husvargna 701 que pesa menos
Why was Pol shut off the bike while downhills sometimes? Won't that be dangerous since no engine breaks? Sry I'm new
On a Downhill like that engine breaking is actually a detriment as is takes away a lot of control you have over the rear wheel, it is much safer and easier to control your decent if you manually apply all your read wheel breaking. It also give the bike a chance to cool down, tho on these newer bikes that is less of an issue.
@@AsherVale thank you!
Usually what you do is hold the clutch in with the bike off in 1st gear. and you can feather the clutch on and off and use it as another rear brake in a way.
It is only to cool down the engine..look at the tricky uphill, steam comes with 100 an more degrees - then a little stop to come to 97 and the ride goes on ;-)
