The Argentine National Team is getting ready for the Six Days 2014


Argentina will host the FIM International Six Days Enduro for the first time and the national team of local riders wants to get in the best shape possible. That is why the training period will start this weekend with the experienced coach Augusto “Chino” Freytes. They will be focused on the enduro motorcycling event, which is the most important event of the world from November 3to to 8th.

The FIM International Six Days Enduro will have its debut on Argentine lands and the most important enduro riders worldwide want to be present in the Cuyo region to show their abilities on their bikes. The list of entrants got to 560 in which 30 countries will be represented, and this promises that it will be a true show of a great competitive level.

The Argentine riders that were selected by CAMOD know that they will be competing against the best ones in San Juan from November 3 to 8. This is why they are working in a really intense way for an ideal set up so as to show that they are also at the same level as the main teams of the Six Days.

In order to do this, Augusto “Chino” Freytes has the responsibility of coordinating a series of training sessions with the national team that will be competing in the World Trophy Category, Junior Category as well as Club Team. The coach will be responsible for 13 riders who will be the official representatives of the country.

Practice Sessions will start on Saturday 28th of June in the CorCross Circuit of Colonia Caroya, Córdoba, where they will train in two sessions and then they will go to the ASER circuit in San Juan. “We will have a sesión per month. In Colonia Caroya there are similar surfaces as the ones will find in the competition, lots of dry rivers and stones. The idea is to start their adjustment and to be demanding in these types of surfaces”, po inted out Freytes.

“Chino” said that he will give a chat every day before training. “We have to be very well aware of the responsibility we hold, it’s not only about taking the Argentine flag but we have to be serious about this and consolidate the team” analyzed the Cordobese coach.

“We will work a lot on turns and the brakes which is something everybody is having a hard time on and we have to improve on that” said Freytes who trusts on the Argentine levels and knows the aim is to get as far as possible in the Six Days.

We are getting closer and closer to the start of the race that will gather thousands of motorcycling lovers in the Cuyo region, at the bottom of Los Andes mountain ranges during six days of pure adrenaline. Teams from all over the world continue their preparation to provide a unique show in the 89th edition of the International Six Days of Enduro.
