Even during the Tour of Flanders, cars are not allowed on the Wall of Geraardsbergen. But when two motorsport heroes challenge one another to an extraordinary duel, the impossible becomes possible. The stake of this battle of the titans was simple: who will be the first to reach the top of the legendary Wall, five -time world champion Sébastien Loeb with his Red Bull Citroen C4 WRC or ten-time world champion Stefan Everts with his KTM 450 cc?
It was a very close battle on the slippery cobblestones of the Wall, but with a difference of only a tenth of a second, Everts managed to defeat Loeb. Probably the only loss this year for the Frenchman...
The loser of the duel had the pleasant task of cleaning his opponent's vehicle!

  • indeed, driving a bike at such speed on such wet cobbled road requires much more skill and guts than driving a car

  • Gotta love the endless car vs bike discussion.

    The way everts used the curb as a rutted corner was brilliant tho

  • supermoto for ever

  • The bike is a lot narrower than loebs citroen. Early in the race that became pretty apparent when loeb was having trouble keeping it between the bales. The bike still has line options.

  • I am really surprised Everts pulled this off. That road is ideal for a rally car. Slick pavement and no big bumps and jumps for the MX type bike to really shine. My Impreza was clearly superior to my bikes on wet pavement, with the bikes spinning and squirming where the car just pulled and went. In dirt knobs can dig in, but on slick hard surfaces, I'd say AWD cars are better. Hats off to Everts.

  • I wonder what the time without a co pilot would've been.

    Won't be fair towards the car ;)

    You really expect a car to win a dragrace from a motor?

    Ok, I agree this KTM won't have a too great topspeed, but the acceleration is much better...

  • @steveman1982 jup 2 hundreds of a second

  • @R1vAStYle are you really trying to be smart or was your dad next to you when you wrote this?

  • @muddassarfarooq333

    Road too small? So i guess they do rallys on huge freeways only and never on small roads in forests and shit like that.

    And why would a drag duel be fair? These machines are all about CORNERING...

  • @muddassarfarooq333 a bike is obliviously slower than the car, but, on the other hand, the bike is more agile, so it depends on the course.
