MOTORS TV UK - February Highlights

SKY DIGITAL CHANNEL 413 AND NTL CHANNEL 173

 Le Touquet Enduropale

 By February 2005 we heard that the Le Touquet Enduro race, one of the most spectacular bike races in the world, was under threat.  The town of Le Touquet and the FFM (French Motorcycle Federation) were working together to save the event which has become as much part of the town’s history as the sand dunes it uses.  Once the event had been rescued, the town offered Motors TV the chance to broadcast the entire race live.

Naturally, fans will be able to watch the 2006 edition on the High Speed Television which promises more than three hours of live coverage of this mythical race, now called the Enduropale.  The competition will once again be hot for the two-wheel entries as competitors battle to steal the top spot from the event’s biggest name, Arnaud Demeester. 

Le Touquet Enduropale: Sunday 5thFebruary, 10:45hrs.
