ALTUS DE WET at Roof of Africa Day 1

GOOD START


It is time for one of the world’s toughest enduro motorcycle races – the Roof of Africa that is taking place in Lesotho (3 – 6 December) and Cargo-Tac Husqvarna Factory Racing’s ALTUS DE WET got his ninth ‘Roof’ attempt off to a good start despite a few early injuries.

It was, however, not the easiest result for DE WET. “I think I’ve broken my little toe on my right foot when I bumped my foot during the time-trial,” he said afterwards. “It hurts and is uncomfortable, but it is better with my Fox boots on. I am sure it will be fine tomorrow and I am looking forward to the race,“ DE WET said.
