Connor Fearon has backed up his third place in the Tasmania EWS with a win in Round 1 of the Gravity Enduro South Australia at Fox Creek... except this time he did it on a hardtail.
| So fun at the first SA enduro. Thought I would spice things up and race the Honzo... didn’t know it would be so fast but there was a lot of sprinting and it came out on top.—Connor Fearon |
This may have only been a regional race but Connor still had some tough competition from Troy Brosnan and last year's series winner, Steven Gebert. Brosnan and Fearon swapped stage wins all day with Fearon taking four of them and ending up 4 seconds clear.

Anyone that takes time to answer back to some hecklers is a legend in my eyes.
I actually often agree with Waki's view of the world...until he goes off on a tangent. Like his drawings as well. That's just for the record.
...might be better, but there's no way we can know for sure
Now, off to ride my choppa...
All hail to Connor. He is one of my favorite riders of all times. The side knobs on his Minions have "help us!" written on them. Cornering God. He may be Senna of MTB.

Yeaaaaaahhhhh Connor.
I have a 2.25 Ardent on the back, desperately want to put on a 2.4 something but there's no way it'll fit.
How did they get a 2.5 on Connor's bike?
