Currently sitting sixth in the WEC standings (E1 Class) Bartosz is looking to impress on Australian soil. Adapting to the change of machinery (as he currently rides a revolutionary prototype Husqvarna TE250 four-stroke), Bartosz and his blistering pace are a welcome addition to Husqvarna’s A4DE line-up. 

“We’re thrilled to have Bartosz competing on Aussie soil,” said PFG’s Paul Feeney. “With the combination of Husqvarna’s brilliant WR 250 and Bartosz’s proven ability to finish at the pointy end of a World Championship event, I think we’re going to be hard to beat at the A4DE.” 

The Australian Four Day Enduro is often classed as the pinnacle of the Australian Off Road season and this year’s event, held at Coffs Harbour on the NSW mid-north coast from July 5-9 is set to be a cracker. As the name suggests the A4DE is a four-day enduro event with riders battling over seven-hours of gruelling terrain each day, with six timed special tests during the course of each day’s competition.

2007 so far: It’s been a bag if mixed results thus far for Bartosz. Adapting to the new machine and fine tuning it’s performance under race conditions has absorbed at lot of his expertise, but never the less, Bartosz still sits sixth in the World Enduro Championship. With more time spent developing the bike, expect to see Bartosz standing atop the podium.

Husqvarna’s class-leading 250cc two-stroke has demolished the Australian scene and magazine tests. “ The WR250’s power curve is mimicked by the wheelstands it pulls under its own steam- long and erect, “ claimed Australasian Dirt Bike magazine before it awarded the WR as the best Enduro 250cc two-stroke in May 2007.
