Australian rider Shane Moss has finished on the podium in the Ironman Class at the Baja 1000.
Shane Moss, a serial off-road racer who has done Red Bull Romaniacs three times, Erzberg eight times, Sea to Sky, Roof of Africa, 6 Days Crazy Job Bulgaria, Nut Buster in New Zealand and a few lesser-known ones around Europe.
The New South Welshman riding a KTM 500EXC finished in a time of 28 Hours 58 Minutes. “The race was awesome, man. I was doing really well up until about race mile 400,” said Moss. “Then my hand was starting to give up and I was just holding on for dear life. the last 400 miles was really tough. It got so cold this morning there was ice on the ground and I had to stop at a campfire just to keep warm and then I sat in a car to warm up. It took forever to do this last 100 miles. It was so tough. I just had nothing more to give. I was done. I’m just happy to make it to the finish line.”
