LUDERITZ SPEED CHALLENGE 2014
De 2014 Chris Benz Lüderitz World Record Chase Event bestond uit 9 dagen gevuld met races in verschillende condities geschikt voor verschillende levels. De riders hebben veel geleerd over het aanpassen van hun equipment op de condities. Het kanaal is nog nooit zo efficiënt geweest. Er werden aanpassingen gemaakt voorafgaand en tijdens het evenement om ideale omstandigheden te creëren voor de riders.
