Around Rasinari in Cibinului Mountains, I stopped to one of the check-points that was supposed to be the most spectacular among all. Indeed there was: crazy, incredible abrupt hill needed to be climbed by the contestants.
Below, first 4 winners of the first day, at Pro class:
JARVIS Graham - UK

FORSTER Gerhard - Ger

BIRCH Chris - NZ


Paul Bolton - winner of the Prologue, originally 3rd place, but penalized for not reaching one of the check-points and gas-points.
