DIRT NEWS

A TIGER IN RED BULL ROMANIACS!

The Adventure Class in hard enduro has attracted a whole bunch of attention in recent years and it is about to get even more at Romaniacs. Johnny Walker and Sam Sunderland are entered. No surprises there, you may think. Read on. Those names are synonymous with the sport but what are they riding? No, not Triumph’ s new 450 or the 250. They will be in the Adventure Class on the Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro! With the Adventure Class machinery last year being made up from twin-cylinder models, the larger units are allowed, the minimum is two cylinders but the sound of a big triple will stand out among the crowd, for sure. Both riders are excited to get in amongst it on the bigger bikes and show what they can do. It also sees the iconic British brand expand its scope and reinforce the link between its more traditional genres and its new dirt focus. Romaniacs is not exactly easing into the action but with a pair of pilots like Walker and Sunderland, watch this space. Neither man has a reputation for just being anywhere just to make up the numbers, so expect the big Tigers to come out roaring in Romania on July 22.
