WESS Championship Gets New Name
W
ESS Promotion GmbH
announced the renam-
ing of the mixed-discipline
enduro series from the start
of 2020, to be officially
known as the WESS Enduro
World Championship. (It was
formerly called World Enduro
Super Series.) In addition,
WESS Promotion GmbH also
announced the eight-round
championship schedule for
2020, which includes a new
round in the U.S.
Winfried Kerschhaggl,
WESS Enduro World Cham-
pionship Series Manager,
said, "The fastest riders,
the best events and a global
presence: What more do you
need for a real-world cham-
pionship? Expanding the
series outside of Europe was the
last ingredient missing in becom-
ing a credible and true Enduro
World Championship."
Now entering its third sea-
son, the WESS Enduro World
Championship encompasses all
enduro formats, while providing
a global platform for both pro-
fessional and privateer riders to
compete together.
For 2020 the champion-
ship retains many of its world-
renowned favorites from seasons
one and two and includes the
welcomed return of the popular
Red Bull 111 Megawatt event in
Poland. Breaking new ground,
the championship heads to the
United States and the well-estab-
lished Tennessee Knockout.
WESS Enduro World Cham-
pionship Marketing Manager
Anna-Larissa Redinger, said,
"We're very excited for what
the 2020 WESS Enduro World
Championship will bring. Now
entering our third season, it's
rewarding to see the series grow
and expand as it has. With eight
rounds planned for next year, we
feel we've managed to provide
an enjoyable and challenging
mix of Enduro disciplines to test
competitors." CN
