Hard Enduro at a Crossroads || World Championship Uncertainty & The American Alternative || EP.44

Subscribe to the World Hard Enduro Channel for hard enduro-related content – New episodes every Monday. 

In this episode of the World Hard Enduro Podcast, we dive into the current state of uncertainty surrounding the Hard Enduro World Championship. After WES Promotions (owned by KTM's parent company) pulled out due to financial issues, the FIM has been searching for a new promoter with no clear announcements yet. We discuss how this has affected riders, teams, and sponsors, with many competitors losing valuable sponsorship deals due to the championship's uncertain future.

We also explore the controversial move by Red Bull Romaniacs and Red Bull Erzberg to create their own "Extreme Enduro" and "Rally World Champion" titles without FIM involvement, raising questions about whether two events constitute a legitimate championship. Additionally, we consider the growing appeal of the US Hard Enduro scene, with its increasing prize money and potential opportunities for European riders looking for stability. Join us as we analyze the complex situation and discuss possible paths forward for the sport.
