In modern parlance the term legend is greatly overused but in the enduro world at least David Knight is a genuine legend. Three times world champion amongst many other achievements that include 2 wins at Erzberg.

It was interesting watching his video updates and I think it became clear that he was finding the navigation a challenge but also that he was a bit shocked at the risks that the top guys were prepared to take on a daily basis.

It'll be interesting to see if he goes back, but regardless it was a great achievement for him to get a decent finish at his first attempt and underlines his talent. What it doesn't mention above is that he suffered two cracked ribs on the second day but still knocked out another 9 days of 500-800km days in the saddle to get his finish - but I don't suppose you reach his level without a good bit of mettle.

We'll done Knighter.
