David Megre actually in 2nd place in the World Cup, seeks more points.
David Megre, driver of the BP Ultimate Adventure Team, today begins his participation in the 20th edition of the Baja da Hungria, competition for the FIM Bajas World Cup.
David Megre, who leads the European Championship, rose in the final of Baja Spain Aragon to 2nd place in the Bajas World Cup and now departs for the Hungarian journey with the aim of earning points that allow him to consolidate or eventually improve his position.
David Megre points out that "I already won this race in 2009, and I like this type of terrain. The idea behind this competition is to try to get as many points as possible. Of course I like to win a race at the general level, but I know that the competition is very strong and other drivers will have the same goal. Nevertheless, I will fight for victory," says the rider, who presents himself to the command of a Kawasaki.
The Hungarian Baja will take place from August 10 to 12, with the city of Várpalota hosting the race headquarters. The event starts today with the opening ceremony. The prologue is raced on Friday morning on Tesi Hill, north of Várpalota. On the same day, the competitors complete two stages of 106 km. On Saturday, two more stages, this time with 116 km each, have to be raced. In total, the race has around 615 km, of which 445 are timed.
