The top guys are in the “Crazy Bikers House”, riding up the staircase to fifth floor. Frans and Graham made it up the really slippery wooden ramp to the rooftop, Chris and Gerhard decided not to risk it.

His only comment: “A whole new level of f***ed” He’s just glad he survived today, feeling really sick in the morning.

Day 4, 12:30 The race is run

The top 4 of today have reached the finish almost together, and unofficial, without timing confirm and GPS check, Dutchman Frans Verhoeven has won the stage, while the overall top three came in without changing the rankings:

Graham Jarvis (UK, Sherco) won the Red Bull Romaniacs 2008 at his first ever attempt and with solid riding as well as strategically perfect performance. Why navigating yourself, if you can follow a veteran Romanaics rider and superb Navigator. This is

Gerhard Forster (GER/BMW), who repeats his runner-up spot from 2007.

Chris Birch (NZL/KTM) on third also repeats his podium spot of last year.

All this unconfirmed, but still quite obvious, thanks to our field reporters and the great live-tracking tool we have.
