Kalle Rovanperä secures record-breaking WRC title in New Zealand Finnish star makes history by becoming the youngest-ever WRC champion. Finnish wunderkind Kalle Rovanperä obliterated the FIA World Rally Championship record books after sealing a historic title with victory at Repco Rally New Zealand.* At 22 years and one day old, the Toyota Gazoo Racing driver becomes the youngest driver in the history of the sport to lift the crown - sweeping aside the record previously held by Colin McRae, who won in 1995 aged 27 years and 89 days. Rovanperä, who is co-driven by Jonne Halttunen, required seven more points than Hyundai i20 N rival Ott Tänak to seal the deal at this Auckland-based 11th round. With a hefty lead already earned on Saturday, he remained unchallenged over Sunday’s final four gravel tests and emerged from the rally-ending Wolf Power Stage having done more than enough - heading a GR Yaris 1-2 by 34.6sec ahead of eight-time world champion Sébastien Ogier as a frustrated Tänak settled for third almost 50sec behind. This season - only Rovanperä’s third in the sport’s top-flight - proved to be nothing short of extraordinary. After a shaky start at the season-opening Rallye Monte-Carlo, the Finn romped to a hat-trick of successive wins in Sweden, Croatia and Portugal. Road-opening duties at Rally Italia Sardegna left Rovanperä down in fifth but he was soon back to winning ways, triumphing in Kenya and Estonia before further extending his advantage with second overall on home soil. The youngster’s form then took a brief downturn when he spectacularly rolled on the opening day of Ypres Rally Belgium. He also finished a lowly 15th in Greece due to another off-road excursion. Victory in New Zealand on just his 30th start at the WRC’s elite level leaves Rovanperä with an unassailable 64-point lead over Tänak with two rounds to spare. "It's quite a big relief after such a good season and finally we are here," beamed the newly-crowned champion. "It was a small wait after a few difficult rallies, but the biggest thanks goes to the team - they made this rocket this year. Even after all the difficult rallies they were believing in us and giving us all the support." An emotional Jari-Matti Latvala - team principal of Toyota Gazoo Racing - stressed the importance of having a Finnish champion after a 20-year drought since Marcus Grönholm took the title in 2002. “In a way I would like to cry, but I can't cry here,” he said. “It's really important what Kalle has done. First of all, it’s amazing for a 22-year-old to be breaking all the records and taking the championship title. “At the same time, it is so important for Finland because it has been 20 years and that’s a very long time. I am so grateful that Kalle did it - he is a superhero.” Fourth place in the rally went to Hyundai pilot Thierry Neuville, whose issues included a faulty gearbox on Saturday. He trailed Tänak by 1min 10.3sec but led Oliver Solberg, also driving an i20, by a hefty margin after the young Swede dropped time with a Saturday misfire. New Zealand’s technical stages took no prisoners with Yaris pairing Elfyn Evans and Takamoto Katsuta plus M-Sport Ford Puma youngster Gus Greensmith all failing to restart on Sunday due to accident damage. The drama enabled home hero Hayden Paddon to finish sixth overall as well as taking his Rally2-specification Hyundai to WRC2 glory. Puma privateer Lorenzo Bertelli finished seventh while Kajetan Kajetanowicz, Shane Vangisbergen and Harry Bates completed the leaderboard. The WRC returns to asphalt for the penultimate round at RallyRACC - Rally de España on 20 - 23 October. The fixture is based in Salou. *Subject to FIA confirmation Overall classification: 1.

http://www.crosstrainingenduro.com A specialist answers the common questions about the TPI two strokes from KTM, GasGAs and Husqvarna! Wonering how to fix TPI problems? 00:11 TPI versus carb 00:56 More rebuilds with TPI? 01:27 Is TPI reliable? 02:09 Do TPI bikes seize? 03:04 TPI and fouled plugs 03:52 How to fix that spluttering 04:21 Faulty sensors 05:05 Low fuel pressure 05:40 Air screw setting 06:01 Electrical corrosion 06:19 Oil pump reliability? 06:42 Moving the injectors? 07:04 Add oil to the fuel? Do TPI bikes foul plugs? Sensor problems? The TPI air screw mod? How does TPI KTM or Husqvarna compare to the carb models? The TPI bikes typically have a softer bottom end power delivery, but similar top end. The main reason is a softer ignition curve, but the location of the injectors also contributed due to a reduced opportunity for fuel/air to mix properly at low revs. So this is a TPI review. Some models have spluttered at low revs. But the carb models can have problems too. Since 2017 the jetting has caused spluttery power and poor fuel economy. We will talk about TPI sensor problems soon. The finicky Mikuni carb is extremely difficult to get running consistently. Both carby and TPI bikes respond very well to basic mods. And once set up correctly both have very similar power delivery. Do TPI bikes need rebuilds more often? We suggest top end rebuilds every 80 to 100 hours maximum for a 250 or 300. The TPIs are especially sensitive to top end wear as blow-by past the rings will begin to alter the crank pressure readings sent to the ECU. How reliable is a TPI bike? Generally they are reliable but there have been issues with some of the 17 ECU maps released by the factory. Some caused problems, others have been much better. We find the TPIs are reliable once a few basic mods are done. The most important mods? Incorrect TPI air screw setting. This is used to adjust the idle speed, but it has effects on midrange revs too. Remove the stock grub screw and fit a longer bolt that can be adjusted by hand while the engine is running. Incorrect settings result in a weak or hanging idle, spluttery power delivery, and poor throttle response. Use the latest extreme mapping from the factory, which uses more oil. And fit an idle bolt, which allows separate tuning of the air and idle settings on the throttle body. Lets look at specific issues. Has a lack of oil caused problems? On some TPI models, yes. Fouling spark plugs. A lack of oil can cause significant wear up the back wall of the cylinder, usually centered over the rear boost port. You can check by removing your exhaust and looking at the back wall of the cylinder for vertical black or grey marks. The 2018 and 2019 models used a reasonable amount of oil, although some used less than others. The oil tank did not have a screen in it so it was important to clean the tank and test the output of the oil pump. 2020 models had a screen fitted to the tank but unfortunately the mapping used less oil, causing a high number of failures on low hour bikes. The factory has now released new extreme maps. These bring the oil level back to roughly the same level as the 2019 bikes, Fouling plugs at startup. This emerged with 2020 and 2021 models. A simple solution was to pull out the cold start knob on the side of the throttle body when starting the bike cold, and let it idle for a few minutes before touching the throttle. A more permanent fix is to update the ECU with more appropriate fuel maps. The ECU reflash that we offer addresses this issue and virtually eliminates plug fouling. If you consistently foul plugs you can use the cheaper NGK BPR7ES or BPR8ES plugs. These still perform very well but at a fraction of the cost. Remember if your bike suddenly starts fouling plugs it might be a worn top end or a faulty crank pressure sensor. Spluttery power at lower revs. Some 2018 and 2019 KTM and Husqvarna TPI models had spluttering and unpredictable power delivery at part throttle and lower revs due to issues with the stock mapping. The only complete solution is to reflash the stock ECU with improved maps. But it pays to check other possible causes first: a faulty crankcase pressure sensor, an incorrect air screw setting, low fuel pressure, or a worn top end. Do I need to replace the oil pump regularly? Generally the oil pumps are very reliable unless they get dirt or grit inside them. As mentioned the 18 and 19 models had no oil screen and were susceptible. Faulty Crankcase Pressure Sensors (CCP).The ECU uses the data from these sensors to determine the fuel, ignition and oil needs of the engine. But it will usually be fine at higher revs. The easiest test is to swap the crankcase pressure sensor with the ambient pressure sensor as they are identical. More info? Visit More info?

Defending world champions Denmark needed a double extra-time and a penalty shoot-out to beat host nation Egypt in a highly dramatic and entertaining match. For the European team, it was the seventh victory in as many matches at the 27th World Championship, and by far the most difficult one. Yet, they ultimately won and will meet the winner of the tie Spain versus Norway in the semi-finals. Even though the ‘Pharaohs’ were the losing side, they fought extremely hard and are leaving the World Championship with their heads held high. QUARTER-FINALS Denmark vs Egypt 39:38 (16:13, 28:28, 34:34, 35:35) Egypt enjoyed a perfect start of the match, as goals by Ahmed Hesham, Ahmed El-Ahmar and Yehia El-Deraa put them into the lead (3:0). Their goalkeeper Mohamed El-Tayar made three saves in the first four minutes, while Denmark had to wait for six and a half minutes until Mikkel Hansen scored their first goal. Hansen helped the Danes to draw level at 4:4, but the African team had another good spell to open the lead to 8:6. Denmark’s goalkeeper Niklas Landin did not quite get into the game and was replaced by Kevin Moller, who boasted a 44 per cent save rate in the first half. And line player Magnus Saugstrup found the way through the Egyptian defence to give his team their first lead in the match, 9:8 in the 18 minute. While the ‘Pharaohs’ continued to fight hard, Denmark gained momentum, and a couple of spectacular goals by right wing Lasse Svan helped them to get a three-goal advantage at half-time. Early in the second half, Egypt were back on track and benefitted from their opponents’ mistakes, as a 5:1 run saw them edge in front again, 18:17. The game was nip-and-tuck after that, with both sides trading goals, and they were still level in minute 49 (23:23). With Landin back in goal, a good attacking effort by Lasse Svan and Mathias Gidsel put Denmark 25:23 in front, but then they could not score for almost five minutes, as Egypt’s solid defence and Yahia Omar’s skills in attack helped them to draw level at 25:25 with five minutes to go. In the closing minutes of the second half, both sides played seven-against-six in attack to clinch a victory, yet at the end of normal time, they were still tied at 28:28. There was some drama in the dying seconds, as Denmark were given the ball possession after the ‘Pharaohs’ made a faulty substitution, but the European team did not use that chance. The first five minutes of the extra time minutes saw Denmark dominate, as Niklas Landin made a couple of saves and Mathias Gidsel scored two goals to give them a 31:29 lead. At 34:32, the Danes seemed to have one foot in the semi-finals, but Wisam Navar closed the gap before Mikkel Hansen got a red card for throwing away the ball after the whistle in the dying seconds of the half, and Mohamed Sanad drew level from the 7-metre line. Therefore, a second overtime was needed in this dramatic match, and Karim Hendawy made three saves in the following minutes, helping his team to a 35:34 lead. Egypt were on the verge of winning, but in the last second, Ibrahim El-Masry got a red card and Magnus Landin scored from the 7-metre line to give Denmark a chance to win on penalties. In the shoot-out, the shots by El-Ahmar and Ali Zein were saved by Landin, and although Nikolaj Oris also missed his shot, Lasse Svan’s successful attempt resulted in Denmark’s win in this thrilling encounter. hummel Player of the Match: Ali Zein, Egypt
