This weekend at the National Enduro Championships in Pilgrim’s Rest, GASGAS Racing celebrated a remarkable performance with James Moore capturing the E1 title and Heinrich Aust rounding off the podium in the E2 class.
James Moore has had an outstanding year of racing, and his impressive streak continued as he claimed victory in all three rounds this weekend. With five wins out of six rounds, Moore has been racing neck and neck with Luke Walker, solidifying his dominance in the E1 class. His success this season serves as the perfect lead-up to the Roof of Africa, where he triumphed in his first Gold stage last year.
Reflecting on his championship victory, Moore said, “I’m so stoked to have another National Championship under my belt! It goes without saying that it takes a huge effort and an awesome team to make this happen. A huge thank you to GASGAS South Africa for giving me the absolute best tools to do the job, and to Junior and Uncle Bruce for making sure my bike never misses a beat!”
Teammate Heinrich Aust also had a commendable weekend, finishing strong and securing a place on the podium in the E2 class. Aust’s consistent performance highlights the growing talent within the GASGAS Racing Team. Despite facing stiff competition from other top riders in the E2 class, Aust’s experience allowed him to secure a well-deserved podium finish.
Commenting on his experience this weekend, Aust said: “It was a challenging but rewarding weekend. I’m pleased with my performance and proud to support James in his championship win. We’re all looking forward to the Roof of Africa!”
“I’m incredibly proud of our riders and their remarkable performances throughout the season. The GASGAS Racing Team has shown tremendous growth and development, becoming stronger with each race. We’re excited and ready to carry this strength into the Roof of Africa,” said Megan Prinsloo, GASGAS Racing team manager.
