Although the face is not clear , from the bib i believe this to Joan Freixas on the Merlin DG350. Makoto Sugitani the Japanese photographer stands behind. This section was one of the first sections after the hill climbs at Butser.

I dont know who this rider is . For me the riding position is wrong. I cant see him getting to the top - oh no

A terrific photo . Here Michaud fights to stay upright. On his right there is a huge drop over big roots to the bottom. If he fell , his bike would be finished. Diego watches.

I love this photo the most. The Legend Eddy Lejeune struggles halfway up the steep climb. I have 5 of these Merlin and i cannot imagine he recovered from this , but i am not Eddy.Read about Eddy's works Merlin here

Another Brilliant photo from 1988 at Butser. This was an incredibly steep and loose hill. I went in search for the section and found it completely over grown , but it wont be for long  We will be re running the 1988 World trial soon
