Quote of the Day:
Make big decisions with your heart,
the small ones to achieve them with your head

During the week of the 6th Rubson Raid Turquoise, many things happend. Good things, bad things. Sportive things, un-sportive things.

There was quite some hassle with the organisation. New racing rules were made up during the week, old, denied, protests were granted after all, etc. etc. Not the way a professional race should be. Underneath you will find the official and published results of the Rubson Raid Turquoise 2006, but in reality, the official number two of this year (the team that has won the Raid twice before), should not be on that place, but a couple of places downwards. Doesn't really mather, we know the reality, we know what we have managed to do in Thailand, and that is to make a glorious result for the whole of the Equipe d'Hollande. Underneith the overall ranking, the day-by-day results can be found at www.raidturquoise.com.

Official results of the Rubson Raid Turquoise 2006, held in Phuket, Thailand:

Rank	Team #	Team Name
1	19	Team Rubson Benelux
2	2	Only
3	11	Dutch Connection 1
4	20	Amsterdam Holland
5	8	Pattex South Africa
8	18	The Flying Dutchmen
12	17	Dutch Connection 2

 

As can ben seen by the result, the Dutch input on the RRT 2006 has been strong. Without the interferance of the newly made racing rules and otther adoptions in the results, the whole podium would be Dutch!

Neverthless, for our own team a great result and we are also proud of the victory of the team selected by us, Team Rubosn Benelux

Next year, RRT will be ours!
