Roof of Africa 2012.

TCM - 19/11/2012.
Postado por: Luciano Poeys - TCM.

Wade Young (16 anos) piloto da equipe Team Fever Criterion Yamaha, fez história no último sábado 17/11/2012, quando  se tornou o mais jovem piloto a vencer um das mais duras provas de Estreme Enduro do Mundo, a 45ª edição do Roof of África 2012, realizada entre os dia 14 a 17/11/2012, nas montanhas de Lesotho - África do Sul.

Foi também a primeira vez desde 2007 que um piloto Sul-Africano vence este evento disputado em três dias, que consistia em percorrer cerca de 490 quilômetros este ano, onde as altas temperaturas fez com que diversos concorrentes se desidratassem,  confirmando o Roof of África 2012 como uma das provas mais difíceis nos últimos anos.

Young superou lendas do Hard Enduro como Chris Birch (10º), que sofreu com a desidratação, o alemão Andreas "Letti" Lettenbichler (Husqvarna) (14º), problemas técnicos (combustível),
