We were at Challenge Roth over the weekend so of course we had to have a poke around the pits to see all of the interesting bike set-ups, pro tech and customised equipment that was on display! Safe to say that with a last-minute German Rule book realisation there was a fair amount of bodging going on to make water bottle setups race legal! Let’s see what we find…
