In this episode we talk about Round 1 of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship at Valleys Hard Enduro. We discuss a recent hard enduro race that happened on the same weekend in Romania - Enduro Panorama which had some extreme weather conditions.

There is a lot to unpack with this race starting with Day 1 - Prologue/ Super Enduro where we saw some close competition between the top pro riders and some extreme maneuvers too. We highlight your top riders heading into day 2.

Qualification day consisted of 2 races giving the riders more opportunity to clock a fast lap time. With only 1min 40sec between the top 20 riders this ended up being a very surprising day! The top 3 riders in the championship walked away with the first points of the season at the end of day 2.

The last and most important day was the main race. In our last episode we each had different predictions on who would take the win. In the end our top picks were the riders standing top 3 on the podium. A race that came with conditions no one was expecting and a clear top winner heading into round 2.
