„Simply great!“
Graham Jarvis will stick with the colours blue and yellow in 2012. Graham´s Flite-Team and Husaberg will prolong their cooperation. Husaberg manager Martin Wabnegger is more than pleased about the results of the past season and explains some details of the successful deal.
Working with Graham Jarvis was a sensational success for Husaberg manager Martin Wabnegger. „Couldn´t have been more perfect in any way“, he says. Except for the „Erzberg“, Graham won everything he attempted around the Globe. He has become the face and name of the Extreme Enduro sport in 2011. Wabnegger is very pleased about the fact that Jarvis won two races in Turkey and Ecuador on a standard bike that you can buy right off the dealer´s floor. „This tells you a lot about Graham´s exceptional skills….but it also says something about the quality of our bikes!“, he quips.
Graham Jarvis and Husaberg will be cooperating until 2013.
2012 will bet he second year of the successful partnership. Graham Jarvis will continue on he TE 300. „He fits the suspension to his own needs and takes off the electric starter for weight reduction.“ In Great Britain his technical support and bike maintainance comes from Husaberg Dealer „Triple D“.
„The first time round I was just lucky“, says Graham about his Romaniacs debut. His second win in 2011 was very important to him. But he failed to bring home the „Erzberg“ trophy.
Graham does his own planning together with his Flite Team and chooses which races to take part in. Once more he sets his sights primarily on the big international Exreme Enduro Competitions. He will do the „Roof of Africa“ for the first time which will make him miss the start of the SuperEnduro Series (formerly Indoor Enduro World Championship) and take away his chances for the overall win. This season, he definitely has a reputation to defend in all the Hard Enduro Classics. „Graham is invited to more races than he can possibly attend“, says Husaberg man Wabnegger. „One week before the Roof he will go to Australia for the first time. He decides which ones he wants to do. Then we organise a bike and support for him.“ The Husaberg /Jarvis/Flite contract runs until 2013 „but of course we want to continue working with Graham after that“, says Wabnegger. „We´ll cross that bridge when we get to it.“
Graham Jarvis can feel IG.G rider C. Panny coming up from behind…ah no, actually he was teaching him a thing or two in Lunz/See (Austria).
Besides Jarvis, some other Husaberg pilots were very successful in 2011. Wabnegger: „ Our Factory Team in the Enduro World Championship had the most successful season in a really long time – some wins, lots of top places and all of the riders in the Top 5 of their class. Joakim Ljunggren was the most successful of all: he came in 2nd in the Indoor Enduro WC and 3rd in the E3 class of the Enduro WC.“ The Husaberg Factory Team will be unchanged in 2012. The goal is to keep up the good work and maybe score a WC title. (c. panny, constanze pandi)
