Krisztian Tompa rockets to P3 at Red Bull Romaniacs 2025

Where we stand after two off-road stages at Red Bull Romaniacs for Krisztian Tompa at Adventure Ultimate class?

Tompa is third overall in the brand‑new Adventure “Ultimate” class, glued just one second behind enduro legend Jonny Walker and keeping a six‑minute buffer over Poland’s Dawid Szczotka.

Rider’s word from the paddock

“So far everything’s clicking way better than I expected! Two off‑road days in, I’m one second off Walker and six minutes clear of P4. Today’s tracks were wicked fast—my kind of riding—but I lost a bit on a chunky rock climb,” Tompa told us.

GPS Headaches – “Map Monsters in the Woods!”

“The nav is what messes me up the most. Every day I get a little lost. This rally‑raid stuff is all new—MX was simple: same lap, hit your marks,” he laughs. “But honestly, everything else is rolling super smooth. Stoked I signed up!”

Romaniacs punishes nav errors with time penalties and extra kilometres. Tompa’s game plan: ride smart, stick to the GPS track, and use the Ténéré’s punchy torque to claw back every second.
