Sad News !
World's largest motorcycle Enduro race, the Touquet Enduro, will hold its final and last race on 5 and 6 February this year. Some 300,000+ spectators and 1,000 motorcycles (and 240 quads) are expected.
The Touquet City Hall (Le Touquet is a town situated on the Northern coast of France, close to Calais) has finally bowed to the political pressure from environment groups to stop the rally !
The race is held partially in the dunes, and that is what the environmentalists are protesting about. It's a pity that such a world event has to close down because of a few people with strange ideas, but we live in a world where minorities rule !
The Touquet Enduro is organized by ASO, the same people who bring you the Dakar Rally, and the Tour de France !
