From - Anita Merriman:
Check out the WEBSITE: of Stefan Merriman, the Kiwi born Enduro ace (across the ditch they claim him as an Aussie) for photos (including this event) his profile, events calendar, etc.
(Note: The website will be out of action, until approximately 20th June 2004.)
Anita updates us on Day 2 at Perugia, Italy:
Still don\'t have a lot of information on the Italian Champs. Lexy sent me a sad face on my text phone early on day 2!!!! Later found it was because it rained!!!! Did a bit of a panic as I thought Stef may have hit the dirt. However according to the information that I can find, Stefan won 18 out of the 20 special tests for the weekend?
Won day one by nearly 1 minute and day 2 by 32seconds. Not bad for our Kiwi eh?
Unfortunately Stefan\'s team mate, Oblucki, did not finish day 2.
Day 2 results (as I understand them.)
1 Merriman 31.19.84 Yam
2 Botturi 31.47.02 KTM
3 Bazzurri 31.56.35 Husky
4 Ahola 31.58.20 Husky
5 Belometti 32.00.00 KTM
The overall standings for the Italian Championships now stand at:
Merriman 123
Ahola 109
Botturi 94
Larsson 60
Bazzurri 77
Albergoni 54
Stefan now prepares for the World round in Sweden, on 5/6th June, where he will again mount the 250 4 stroke. He rides the 450 for the Italian Championships as he can only take the outright placing due to the fact that he is not an Italian citizen, so cannot take the class placing\'s.
Regards
Anita
