9 finishers



Finally time to write, yesterday (saturday) was pretty hectic between the final MX and packing the container. Day 5 wente well for our riders, Stephen and Regis took it the easy way and took their time to get around, they wanted to be sure to finish. The western riders enjoyed the course of day 5. Looked a lot like home they said. A long day again with dinner at 08.30 at our pasta place.
The final MX started early for our 3 clubriders, they had to pick up their bikes at 08.35 with their first race at 09.00. Our Throphy riders started around noon in several B heats. In between we had the Sheepskull race which was hilarius. We started packing the crates right after the club heat was fninshed. Also the riders washed their bikes right after riding. Dave had a great race finished 4th in his heat. According to the experts and long time ISDE support persons Larry and Butch (Muriel) this was the first time that every rider finished. The race had a surprising finish with the dnf MX for Yuha Salminnen his fell and broke his trothle cabel. The Finland pit was right besides us and everybody was very dissapointed with this outcome. After the races we saw the Sheepskull purple helmets performe at the start grit. GREAT show. Started packing the container right after the race, were finished at 19.30 went with most riders and support for dinner in town, after dinner almost everybody took off to the party in Serres, arriving back at the hotel around six this morning. Mr. Fryberger did not look very good this morning when the taxi came to pick him up at 09.00.
Today was a rest day for us, saw some awesome caves and went to the beach.
