Video Summary
AI GeneratedThis transcript covers the intense action of Day 4 of the Romaniacs hard enduro race. The narrative follows top riders like Manny, Matt Green, and Teo as they navigate grueling climbs and technical rock sections. The day is marked by high-stakes battles for position, extreme physical exhaustion, and a dramatic medical emergency involving Michael Walkner toward the end of the course.
Day 4, Manny's just come into CP1 and he's here coming into the hill
And then Walker, Michael Walker has just come in with some track managers
Michael's just taking a different line there
I think the crowd just put Michael slightly off line there when he came in
Still no Tao, we have no idea what's happened
Matt Green just lining up down there now
Gear left
So just a little track update there, we got a little bit of information from Matt Green there
He was just saying Tao did start, he should have been on track first
Tao must have gone wrong at the first split
He goes up the ridge behind us here
And I can already hear his bike over halfway up this ridge within 30 seconds
Unbelievable
Second hard hill, I'm not sure who's coming in here
Matt Green
Very smooth and efficient there from Matt Green
Another rattle of a bike coming through that little downhill
We have Ash just coming in now
Now a tiny gap then, back to Lorenzo
Lorenzo having a great race, first time at Romaniacs
And he is still going strong
We have Lorenzo who's just passed Ash there in that downhill
As you can see, following anything in this dry dust is quite hard
Down!
Now they're heading off down, back down into the valley
And on and over and heading off to service now
Nothing too strenuous in between
And then they've got a really really hard afternoon
We've got coming our silver rider
We've got Mitch Brightmore coming in
And then Lorenzo Gonzola, not Lorenzo Gorgonzola
As I previously mentioned by accident
That's the elusive Teo
Don't know where he's been this morning but that's the first time we've seen him
Think he went wrong off the start
That's the dude in first and silver
Lorenzo
That was Mitch just coming through again, hot on the tails of Lorenzo
And Matt Green
Good little battle there with them three
And then we've got Teo just trying to make up time
He's pushing real hard
Just in the Lomas just before service on day four
And Teo's just on his way out the hill
He is pushing hard now Teo
And then just behind Teo we have Matt Green
Lorenzo
And then we've got Mitch just coming in now
Almost a collision there with the silver riders where the tracks just joined
Really hard to see anyone coming through there
And then straight out of service they drop down the hill
And into probably the hardest section of the whole four days
Here's Tom Scales just coming in now
He's behind Mitch on the track
We've got Ashton Brightmore coming in now just behind Tom Scales
Manny's just about to come in now
And then again he's got a good gap over second place
Which is now Michael Walkner
So we've just come across from the downhill
Where we've just seen Manny
And now we're just walking back down into this
First of the hard hills which is called Bedtime Alarm
I can hear the drone so Manny can't be too far away
I think my goggle comes off
Ah yeah I would say so
You left them on a while
Just as you think we catch him
Just turns around
Little squirt of the gas, off he goes
Caught up with Manny on the back of this downhill
There's some very very hard bits
A bit further in
That are too hard to get to
And in and out of to continue filming
We've just got to the top
And Walkner is just coming in now
James making a lovely pass on Walkner
They're just up the inside
Go steady yo
And in more interesting news
Tao is on an absolute charge
Here he comes now
Now just behind Tao we have Matt Green
Lovely work
You'll never see the perspective of this here
But this is what the boys are going through
Really tight narrow rocks
Got to mind the foot pegs on this side
And then just get your back wheel just in that rut
And kick it again
And if you get it wrong
Big big game over
No restarts
Now we've just had Lorenzo come in
Didn't get here on time
Mitch just making a little pass on Lorenzo there
Same place that James Moore
Had just passed Walkner
We've got Tao
This is the next uphill
After bedtime
Tao's just here
We've got Walkner down here
There's the road
There's the entry to the other one
We've got Ash in the background
And Alfredo
This is the downhill from last year
Where Mitch's bike was tumbling down
And hit that tree just there
And that dude has stood
And now they've turned this one off here
And they go out round the corner no more
James Moore just has a problem with his bike
Off he goes
You've caught up to the main line
Just to the corner
Just to this back wheel
The grease is all coming out on the rocks now
The damp is there
It's getting really slippy
The more riders through it
The worse it seems to be getting
Matt Green
Just caught
Caught and he's now passed Michael Walkner
Really tight area
Loads of traffic
Shoulder to shoulder
It's like being in a wash pit
Mitch now just coming in
Just on the back of
Matt Green and Michael Walkner
Mitch that's your tree there
Where you stood
That's the one
This is where you come down
But there's a slightly different line on it
Enjoy
We'll see you later
Everyone's pushing
Everyone hates it
There's a little bit
If you want that down your back
Sure it's not Lorenzo Gorgonzola?
So here we are
Beautiful Wolf's Nest
On top of the mountain
Just waiting for Manny to come in
It's the last hard hill
Before they then go into the finish area
Where they enter the circus
That was me knocking a twig
------- hell
He's coming through
So fast on these three laps
I think Manny's a happy boy
That was better eh?
What the ****
Close
Topless baby
Come on Matt
Here comes Matt Green on his second lap
Shirtless
Matt having the ride of his life here today
He's gone so well
Come on
What a champ
He just did all of them in one go
Jump up this steep ramp
And then straight up the second one
But everyone else is lining up
He just had the momentum
Got it right
James Moore on his second go
Rob's obviously just getting jammed on there
When he's put the bars straight into the ground
To stop the bike from moving back
He'll be stoked to get out of that
Because that was the last hard bit
Of four days of racing
Actually happened here
But we've just spotted some guy going away
In a stretcher
And Michael Walkner's mum was running
And now we've just sort of half confirmed
What's going on
Because we can see Michael's brother
On Michael's bike
And the ambulance is now heading off to the hospital
Don't know what's happened
He was looking extremely overheated
Last time he came through
So Brian Moore just coming in
Looking equally as cooked as everybody else
Drama
I'm guessing the clutch has gone out
Mamma Mia
