As a consequence, they could only start from the back of the field which made their life harder because they were stuck behind significantly slower opponents and it was difficult for them to find the rhythm. Our guys claimed valuable points in Italy that enables them to start the next races closer to the top of the field, among opponents with similar pace,\u201d said \u00c1d\u00e1m Hadob\u00e1s, team principal of Enduro Team Hungary.<\/p>\n \u201eNorbie and M\u00e1rk were fully up to the task; they were not late, did not do any mistakes, the maintenance of the bikes was also seamless and they always knew what they had to do. Although the frontrunners were a bit further away from us, the guys managed to get significantly closer to their fastest opponents and they had promising performances as well. They need to gain experience but now they know what to expect and how a world championship race weekend goes and they can be even more prepared for the next round. It is possible that we may witness even more success but this is a very decent result for a first attempt.\u201d<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Both riders posted competitive times at their maiden EnduroGP weekend in Edolo, Italy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":242126,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"1080","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[190,128,124],"tags":[132],"class_list":["post-828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-endurogp-world-championship","category-mark-szoke","category-norbert-zsigovits","tag-race-report"],"yoast_head":"\n
