This was his first ride on the REAL ENDURO bike. He likes the chassis / suspension (behaves better than his 2017 orange 250), but the motor stopped after a while (more than one hour into the race). The problem was a wet and black spark plug, most likely due to too rich jetting and the cold weather. As he didn't bring a plug in his backpack, he ended with a dnf in his first race on the REAL ENDURO bike. After replacing the plug, it fired right up again. But that was in the paddok after the race, unfortunately.
