World Xtreme Enduro Championship: Rd 1
The Erzberg Rodeo is to be round 3 of 5 from The World Xtreme Enduro Championship. The 5 rounds making up the series are considered to be the 5 toughest enduro races in the world, with Erzberg supposedly the toughest.
The Xtreme Enduro Championship kicked off this past weekend in Toscana, Italy for the infamous Hell’s Gate enduro race. World Trials Legend, Dougie Lampkin took the win at the opening round, with fellow Brit Graham Jarvis coming home in second. No other riders, including series favourite Taddy Blazusiak, finished the event. Taddy did set an insane pace early on, but unfortunately crashed out later in the event and damaged his bike.
To give you an idea of the challenge Chris faces in Erzberg, Hell’s Gate is considered one of the top 5 hardest enduro races in the world. Erzberg is said to be the hardest of the series. If only 2 of the best riders in the world are finishing Hell’s Gate you can see exactly why they say finishing the Erzberg Rodeo feels like winning.
The series now moves to Shropshire, England on the 20th of February for the second round, The Tough One.
