Tomorrow, on April 1, the 10th Breakthrough Festival of Extreme Sports will be held in the Moscow Olympic Stadium. The show includes a performance by Russian motocross and enduro pilots. Who will find it more difficult, crossmen or endurists? Here are the first comments from David Leonov, Ilya Malikov, Artem Nazarov, Kirill Gavrilov after the first days of training.
MOTOGONKI.RU, April 1, 2017 -
David Leonov (enduro):“The track is quite dynamic, there are high-speed places, and there are also slow ones, for example, wheels and logs. The main difficulty on the logs is not to make mistakes, because there are a lot of people in the race, and if you make a mistake, you can specifically stick it in. Not enough, of course, earth ... the concrete is still very slippery!
Starting position doesn't really matter. There will be two 5-minute races in total, in the first they will be ranked according to qualification, and in the second everything will change a lot ... Those who stood in the first row will stand behind, it's like in SEWC - in the second race, the leaders are placed in the second row.
Unfortunately, on the Breakout, endurists lose a lot in speed to crossmen, even with some mistakes on the logs! Why? Speed is needed on all elements, and endurists pass all complex elements more calmly. Yes, there is a place where crossmen had difficulties with the passage, it is logs ... there endurists pass more steadily, but I think this is not enough to fight. "
Ilya Malikov (enduro):“The stones seem to be difficult elements. In the first case, they are on the turn, in the second on the rise. But in fact, with the correct position of the body, it is not difficult to pass.
The inscription "BREAKTHROUGH" .... Everyone, from endurists to eminent crossmen, was lying on it.
Otherwise, the track is covered on average in a minute and the race is given 5 minutes. But this is a very long and difficult 5 minutes. There are places for overtaking. It is more difficult to overtake the pivots - their trajectory changes unpredictably. "
Artem Nazarov (motocross):"The track is very difficult, it was very difficult to drive after a first time, but every day we get used to it and improve the result!"
Kirill Gavrilov (motocross):"The track this year is much more difficult than last year. We made two obstacles from stones, on one of them I was injured, there is no fracture, just a very severe injury ... They also added an element made of logs ... words cannot be conveyed, but there was no a person who would pass them every circle. Everyone fell on these logs ... Everything else is according to the standard. There is a "pyramid" when you need to drive on huge tires. Basically, the track consists of elements a and reminds me of the winter Ramenskoe, I rode on "five", and therefore the "winter" mode turned on in my head, I was driving slowly, all the turns were in easy demolition, there are straight lines where you can open the gas, the starting car is like in a cross-country, only we start not from the ground, but from plywood. to drive well, you need to heat up the tires, I learned this in the USA at the training camp from Sergey Astaykin All the endurists who take part here go very fast, but only 1 lap, then we, the "crossmen", catch up.
