Gotland Grand National Enduro Race 2018 Full Recap | Enduro 2018

[@sykoteddy]

I'm so proud to be from Sweden and Gotland when I watch this! During my childhood my whole family went to watch this race every year. I wanted to some day also participate, and also Novemberkåsan. I turned out to get the position as a motorcycle courier in the Swedish Armed Forces but never got around to participate. But I guess it's never too late, except for if I wanted to ride on the same grounds.. Great and fitting music 7 min in 😃🤘

[@Shiftry87]

I love watching this race and me and my sister actually raced it 1 year and damn was it less the ideal weather that year. It hade rained so mutch that they dident even need to dump water on the regular places they usually do it on. EDIT: It looked about as bad as it did in this video.

[@mototrailz]

Thank you so much for doing this. The coverage is amazing!!! BRAVO RED BULL!

[@RedBullMotorsports]

Thanks Oli! 🙌

[@katotoom356]

I have to agree. Always superbly done vids.

[@Matt281296]

I love the fact that years of racing has brought the top racers so close to each other, they’re pretty much friends by now

[@aaronmarzec2018]

Matt Carbonel That is what endurance motorcycle racers/riders are like - they are very different than motocross racers. I’ve camped with Mike Lafferty, Dick Burleson, Fred Hoeses, Alan Randt, and a majority of the top National Enduro Racers at events starting in 2004-2005. We all share stories just like normal guys. Because we are all just normal guys. Endurance motorcycle racing is VERY family oriented. It’s the best.

Kinda lame if there are no serious fights around the track

Lesson learned. Only buy secondhand bikes from casual rider

[@codenamenoob4973]

@@ArnoId-Schwarzenegger casual riders are usually clueless when it comes to serviceing and general looking after of a bike

[@rayglassworks307]

@@codenamenoob4973 there is plenty of things to check to know if a bike is good to go for whatever the asking price may be. for example checking compression is something most people never do. Then another thing is to ask as many questions possible while reading there body language and their tone. Check for hairline cracks around the block and head. Among many other things. Have a checklist ready and the tools needed if possible to check out all elements of whatever youre buying. Ive learned alot from my dad when buying used vehicles whether its a car, mx, atv, diesels, etc.) Then along with my own experience buying used vehicles over 20 years.

Respect to the riders! I think the bikes needed *some* maintance after the race!😅

[@hansgustavsson7838]

Just got back from the 2020 race. Not neadly as muddy, but my bike is still totalled😬

[@jtfike]

They show the same footage repeatedly to represent various milestones in the race. This is awful footage. That scene with one biker running into the other going through the mud was used three times. They didn’t even bother to list the women’s champion or points standing?!?!

[@vytas5584]

I agree, they should say what place the female rider was in the whole race, not just amongst the females. There is no reason females can't win the race.

[@Shiftry87]

​@@vytas5584 No there isent but to be totally real there is a reson why men and woman dont race in the same class. They really dont stand a chans.

[@Shiftry87]

The section where 1 rider rams a 2nd is a very popular section for ppl to go to and stand. This year it was obviously not needed but this is 1 of 2 popular places becouse they are intentionally drowning the area with water to make it muddy as hell.

This is just a track that every amature can get a couple of laps on. These Redbull riders should have enterd Novemberkåsan. Thats the real deal

True that is more technically riding as its more tight runs in the woods but it is also run late in the evening/night so light is mandatory. Thats probadly why it isent part of this series. I did gripendygnet 24 hour team race 2 years in a row and damn that was fun. 1st year rainstorm 2nd year dry desert so got all the conditions.

st the Gotland Grand National track still prepared by the P18 tank regiment. Also i have around 30 medals from the time when my dad raced the GGN. and the 1983 GGN was worse than the 2018 ( my dad was there racing that year and he says that the 2018 GGN is nothing compared to the 1983 GGN ) and if you would ever get the idea to race the GGN then you need rolls of tape so you can seal every seam of your enduro clothes and there is never too much tape on your clothes when running the GGN

OT but Gotlands strategic importance is that if you control the island you can control the vital Baltic Sea route and use the island as a base for ballistic missiles that can target Sweden and the baltics - thus making it really hard for Nato troops to get to Russia from the west.
