Graham Jarvis and FLITE TEAM tamed the HELLS PEAK again!

21-02-2012

HELLS GATE 2012 Winning is always hard, But winning again, is the toughest. Arriving 1st place at the HELLS GATE for two years in a row, was a succes strongly desired!

The Team and the rider were simply perfect. This was the fourth Hells Gate and the team knows how difficult it is to win this incredible race. They lost the race in 2009 and 2010, due to problems unrelated to the team. This has taught them to prepare everyting in the smallest detail and to put Graham in the position where he can stay focussed on what he does the best: 'FLY TROUGH HELL'

Today they are an invincible team, opponents may outnumber them or be better prepared, but they are unstoppable!      

At 7 A.M. was the start of the qualifing race, to decide the best 30 riders for the main event. The English Flite Team finished the morningrace second place, behind KTM factory rider Jonny Walker.

The Race

At 3.30 P.M., on the Ciocco asphalt, the race takes place with a grid in supermotard style. Walker wins the holeshot, followed by Alessandro Botturi and Graham Jarvis. But as the riders put their wheels in the off road, Graham passes  his two opponents and began to dictate his law!

Only Walker tries to keep pace but at the end of the first round, Graham is ahead with over two minutes lead and 19 riders allready dropped out. Lap after lap, Graham proves to be very strong.

Result:
1. Graham Jarvis (Team Flite - Husaberg)
2. Jonny Walker (KTM Factory)
3. Xavi Galindo (Husaberg Factory)
4. Cody Webb (Beta Factory)
