Every 3 months our factory riders are invited to the Red Bull Training centre to control their physical and psychological condition. In our last test we wanted to make Casey Stoner, Ben Townley and Michael Ranseder a little surprise for the good results they did in the past weeks.

We went from Fuschl am See to the Salzburgring and Ben Townley could ride some laps with Michi and Casey on the road race bike. The eyes of all involved people became always larger when they saw, that Townley was only less than 2 seconds slower than Casey. Ben was impressed by impact to the body from riding a road racing bike. At the same time we should mention, that Ben has absolutely the best results of a motorsport athlete measured in the Red Bull Trainingscenter.
One day later we changed the ground conditions and went to the Moto Cross track in Mattighofen. Because of the heavy rain during the whole night we could expect Hardcore Moto Cross. The priority was of course that nobody of our top stars got injured. Naturally Ben was the boss in the ring, but Casey and Michi didn`t have to hide themselves. Both ploughed through the mud like they would have done nothing else the days before.
