Taddy Blazusiak will make his outdoor, extreme enduro debut on the Stark Varg at this coming weekend’s Spanish Hard Enduro Championship round two in Cantoria.
Mario Roman’s win at round one the 2022 Hard Enduro World Championship, the Minus 400 in Israel, was an emphatic one against stiff opposition. Enduro21 catches up with the Sherco rider to find out the secret of his maiden HEWC win.
The opening round of the 2021 Hard Enduro World Championship has arrived at last with three days of action at Extreme XL Lagares in Portugal this weekend. With no form book and only one major extreme race in 18 months, victory at the inaugural HEWC event is anyone’s for the taking.
It arrives a full 18 months after Manuel Lettenbichler won the World Championship formerly known as WESS in November 2019. Some are calling this weekend a historic moment in our sport. At Enduro21 we’re just calling it a goddam relief to finally be witnessing some topflight Extreme Enduro action on the infamous rocky riverbeds of Lagares.
