Marking the re-start of the world championship after it’s summer break the Greek event was certainly anything but easy with the brutal heat and demanding dry terrain providing plenty of challenges. With dust a major problem, riders competed one per minute – instead of the usual two a minute – in an attempt to make racing safer. Welcomed by the riders it made for two very long days.

Looking to improve his results in the Enduro 2 class, but knowing that he’s always found it difficult to perform at his very best in Greece, Joakim Ljunggren finished the opening day less than pleased with his 10th place result before improving on day two with a well deserved fourth place result. “It’s been a mixed weekend for me,” admitted the newly crowned Swedish Enduro Champion. “I’ve been riding here since ’05 and I’ve never been able to race at my best. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the terrain. I just can’t find the speed needed to do well in the enduro test. I felt good but the times weren’t coming like I wanted them to.”

Although one of four special tests ridden each lap the long enduro test was largely where the event’s results were decided. “I didn’t have any problems on the other tests, just on the enduro test. During the first day I just wasn’t as fast as I needed to be. The second day was better, much better really. I felt my riding was improved and my times were faster. I want to be challenging for the podium but at least I was able to improve things on day two.”

Valtteri Salonen was another Husaberg team rider that found the Greek event tough, ending the sixth round of the EWC series with blood pouring from his right elbow having crashed on the enduro test. Unable to make any impression on the E2 class leaders Valtteri set some impressive test times, but like many riders suffered with water entering his bike’s air box on the enduro test.

Shanghai – General Motors celebrated the arrival of the first drivable Chevrolet Volt in China today. China is one of the initial markets outside the United States to receive the Volt. GM’s landmark electric vehicle with extended-range capability will go on sale locally next year.

“GM has made a long-term commitment to bringing our industry-leading technology to China,” said Kevin Wale, President and Managing Director of the GM China Group. “This is enabling us to provide the best mobility solutions for addressing the transportation challenges associated with the growth in demand for personal mobility. With GM taking the lead, the development of electric vehicles is opening up entirely new industries.”

During today’s celebration, GM delivered two Chevrolet Volts to the Shanghai Expo Bureau for use as part of its VIP transportation fleet at World Expo 2010 Shanghai. The Volt will shuttle special guests to and from Shanghai’s Expo Park and demonstrate GM’s pathway to its vision of sustainable urban transportation.

According to Wale, “The Volt is a vehicle that makes no compromises. It reduces our dependency on petroleum and cuts emissions, offers a total driving range of about 500 kilometers, and is powered by electricity at all times. It provides users the latest technology, outstanding innovation and something no other electric vehicle can offer – peace of mind.”

The Volt is the only electric vehicle that can operate under a range of climates and driving conditions with little concern of being stranded by a depleted battery. For up to the first 60 kilometers, the Volt drives gas- and tailpipe-emissions-free using electricity stored in its 16-kWh lithium-ion battery. When the Volt’s battery runs low, a gasoline-powered range-extending engine/generator seamlessly operates to extend the driving range another 450 kilometers on a full tank. This eliminates so-called “range anxiety.”
