This has to be the most historical way to launch the Red Bull Don Quixote enduro race that takes place in Herencia, Spain in the heart of La Mancha, on November 29, 2009.
As many as 1,000 riders (pros and amateurs) will compete in this race which will also see Spain’s multiple world championship-winning enduro star Iván Cervantes, Marc Coma, winner of this year’s Dakar (Argentina-Chili) Rally and the recent Morocco Rally, and 2004 Dakar Rally winner Nani Roma also in the competition.
The riders will tackle the tough enduro 50km course in the land made famous in Miguel de Cervantes 17th century novel, The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha.
