With the dry and dusty conditions of the EWC taking it’s toll on body and mind, Remes steadily recuperated himself with some therapeutic and essential laundry.

Arriving in Bella Potenza, Italy ahead of this weekend’s opening round of the 2012 Italian Enduro Championship, the pint-sized Finn is eager to get back in the saddle.

“My goal for the weekend is just to have a good run and build a strong rhythm before the EWC continues next month in Spain,” confirmed Remes.

The EWC returns to European soil for the first two weekends in May with the back-to-back GP’s of Spain and Portugal where Remes will be keen to improve on his fifth place in the Enduro 1 standings.
