Video: Roof to Africa Highlights
Graham Jarvis successfully defended his Roof of Africa title at the final Hard Enduro of the year. The 41-year-old out-gunned a charging Alfredo Gómez, with South African Scott Bouverie rounding out the podium after three days of brutal racing in Lesotho. After three days and nearly 400km of racing, a mere nine seconds separated the top two riders. The final stage was a classic race of attrition, with the elder statesman’s experience of the epic race in the highlands of the mountain kingdom gradually wearing down the Spaniard on his first visit to Africa.
Covering over 425km of the harshest terrain known to man, the Roof of Africa is one of the most treacherous and demanding hard enduro racing routes in the world, and this year’s race was on of the toughest and most exciting one yet! Riders start from a hefty 1400m above sea level making their way up to close on 3 000m above sea level before hurtling back down again.
