Travel restrictions
from Europe prevent
this year's TKO race in
Tennessee from being
a part of the WESS
Championship in 2020.
The TKO race, however,
will go on as scheduled.
TKO Confirmed But
Taken Off WESS Calendar
W
hile the Kenda AMA Tennessee Knockout Extreme
Enduro will go ahead on August 14-16, the event
won't be part of the WESS Enduro World Championship
in 2020, but will return to the series in 2021.
The WESS Enduro World Championship, together with
the TKO organizers, decided to withdraw the event from
the 2020 WESS Enduro World Championship calendar
due to ongoing Covid-19 travel restrictions. Due to the
coronavirus pandemic, the current restrictions surround-
ing international travel to North America make it unviable
for competitors and teams from outside of North America
to adequately plan for the race.
Eric Peronnard, Kenda AMA TKO Extreme Enduro
Co-Organizer, said, "We completely understand why
the series is no longer able to include TKO in its 2020
schedule. It's impractical at this stage to expect overseas
competitors and teams to attend due to difficulties and
uncertainties they face." CN
