Roman Takes Red Bull Override S herco rider Mario Roman took the win at the Red Bull Override extreme race held at the Rocky Ridge Ranch in Decatur, Texas, Saturday, December 5. The Span- iard outlasted fellow Sherco rider American Cody Webb in the grueling six-hour race that started at 2:00 pm and finished in the dark at 8:00 pm. Canadian Trystan Hart rounded out the podium on his FMF KTM. The race uses a loop format, with laps in the 40+ minute range for the top riders, and three extremely difficult "Override" sections added to the course at desig- nated times during the event, becoming required sections from that point forward. Webb led the first couple of laps, with Roman close behind and Hart a few min- utes back in third. Roman took over the lead on the third lap and slowly opened the gap over the next several hours and maintained it to the finish. He ended up completing eight laps and was the only rider to complete the first checkpoint on the ninth lap. Webb completed eight laps and defending Red Bull Override Cham- pion Hart completed seven laps when the time expired. Nick Fahringer finished fourth overall with six laps completed and fellow Sherco rider Quinn Wentzel rounded out the top five, with five laps and one check on lap six completed.
