The King of the Carpathians extends his reign over the World’s Toughest Hard Enduro Rallye, Red Bull Romaniacs, with a sensational 7th win at the age of 47. After a stunning ride on Day 3, Graham Jarvis put a comfortable lead to his closest rival Teodor Kabakchiev, +15m44s. All he had to do on the final day was to avoid any mistake and nurture his Husky to the finish line. The GOAT did well and finished the day with P5, only 7m behind Teodor, which was the mark of the Victory. Teodor Kabakchiev proved himself to be a serious contender and made it to the P2 podium spot before some of the finest factory riders. The Bulgarian privateer scored his best ever Romaniacs venture by finishing it 8m32s behind the victor. Mario Roman was in a fight for a better podium spot and finished the day ahead of Teodor but it was just not enough the gain an extra position. The Spaniard completed the podium with +13m26s to Graham. This became his 2nd consecutive P3 at the Carpathians. At the Silver Class, Chris Birch clinched a tight victory with only 1m26s ahead of Fabien Poirot and enjoyed the podium spot with a cheer of champagne. Matthias Walkner’s Romaniacs journey also ended with a podium spot at the Bronze Class. He a P3 with his chunky KTM 450 Rally.

After the riders spent the night at the Ranca Ski resort off road Day 3 of the Red Bull Romaniacs 2022 took start above the clouds, 2000 meters of altitude, with a fast grass section ahead at the early stages. Graham Jarvis got his second Day’s win of the Romaniacs 2022 and stretched his lead as the GOAT edges to his historic 7th win of the toughest Hard Enduro Rallye. With no hope of winning the race, Manuel Lettenbichler tried to recover as much places as possible and the German came in P2 for the day. Championship leader now sits in P6 overall. Mario Roman was another hot start of the day. Spaniard got caught by Michael Walkner early in the day but the duo fired each other than and made some time against Teodor Kabakchiev which wasn’t enough to pass him at the overall ladder. There were three retirements from the race on Day 3. The City Prologue top two Alfredo Gomez and Taddy Blazusiak retired at the service point. Taddy complained about the wrist and felt its unnecessary to push further through this intense racing. Alfredo’s food poisoning had gone worse and broke his physical condition to continue. Sonny Goggia was another casualty of the day. Italian privateer had a crush which caused a wrist injury. Romaniacs 2022 Off-road Day 2 Top 10 1.

Off-road Day 2 at the Red Bull Romaniacs 2022 was started with an early morning shower which was to add some spice to the competition but it didn’t last long and we were back at dusty conditions again. Title defender Manuel Lettenbichler, whose hopes of winning the race were battered with a 2h time penalty on Day 1, started the day from 17th place. The German rode an blistering pace though out the day and came out on top by clearing more than 16 minutes to his closest rival for the day, Graham Jarvis. With the fact that Mani is out of the picture, Graham Jarvis had to focus on Teodor Kabakchiev and Mario Roman without getting into trouble. The GOAT got the job done by coming in faster than both behind Mani, P2. He stretched his overall lead to more than 9 minutes against Kabakchiev. It was the young Bulgarian who completed the top 3 for the day and kept his overall P2 position. The breaking news of the day was Alfredo Gomez’s food poisoning. The Spaniard explained the situation via an Instagram post saying that something he had for dinner the previous day affected him badly. He wasn’t able to sleep or have something to eat all day long and received medical aid. Chris Birch’s P1 performance on Day 2 brought him the overall lead by one minute at the Silver Class. The day ended around Trans Alpina pass and all riders to spend the night in the beautiful ski resort of Ranca. Romaniacs 2022 Off-road Day 2 Top 10 1.

Off-road day one of the World’s toughest hard enduro rallye, Red Bull Romaniacs 2022, started with a big drama for the title defender Manuel Lettenbichler. The German cooked his clutch at the Babysitter and forced to receive outside help, which then caused him a 2h time penalty. He then dropped back to P17 from P7. On the other hand, 6-Time Romaniacs winner Graham Jarvis had a stunning day on the track which let him finished on top, 4h47m15s.

The iconic City Prologue of Red Bull Romaniacs 2022 made its comeback after two years of longing and it was a feast of urban struggle for the hard enduro world. The action at the FIM’s Hard Enduro World Championship resumed in Romania for Round 5 Red Bull Romaniacs, 26-30 July 2022. Being in the historic heart of Sibiu, the City Prologue is known for its ridiculously hard man-made obstacles and it took so many tolls on the riders in the past. It was replaced with Off-Road Time Trial Qualification first in 2020, due to the global pandemic, and this situation continued in 2021 also. With the eased health measures, it was the organization’s chance to return back to originals and they did so. All riders took 2 hot laps in order to be qualified as high as possible to the prologue finals and at the Gold Class it was Alfredo Gomez who scored the best time. He was followed by Manuel Lettenbichler and Taddy Blazusiak. During the finals the story did not change much and the qualification top three finished on top again with a slight change of positions. Alfredo Gomez got the City Prologue victory and continued showing muscle in his post-factory career. Polish Hard Enduro sensation Taddy Blazusiak claimed P2 and defending HEWC champion Manuel Lettenbichler P3. Romaniacs City Prologue Finals Top 10 1.
