Round Texel

M20 versus Tornado
The Hague | 13-06-2003 13:53:00 | By: Diana Bogaards
Since two months, a grey flash has been signalized regularly off the coast of Hoek van Holland. It happens that Gunnar Larsen and Xander Pols infest the North Sea with their brand new, silver grey M20. During the Hoek van Holland – Scheveningen VV Catrace, they frustrated the rest of the fleet in their hopes to win. After 45 minutes Larsen and Pols were no longer recognizable on the horizon. Two hours after the starting signal the enthusiastic men already crossed the finish line. A new period has been introduced with this rapid M20 that only weighs 122 kg. Round Texel will be the ultimate test for the winner of 1999 (Gunnar) and the second finisher in 2002 (Xander). Last year, Sven Karsenbarg and Mischa Heemskerk won the Round Texel race with their Olympic Tornado, until now the fastest race monster. On June 21st, five teams will fight the Tornado on a M20. Will the Round Record of 2.30.36 hours finally be broken?
