Tennessee Knockout Set To Host The World
T
he best hard-enduro riders
in the world will be back to
take on the Red Bull Tennes-
see Knockout (TKO) at the Trials
Training Center, August 11-14. The
TKO is round six of the eight-
round FIM Hard Enduro World
Championship, and the top North
American riders will be aiming to
mix it up with the HEWC regulars.
The weekend will kick off with
a head-to-head straight-rhythm
challenge in downtown Nashville
on Thursday, August 11.
"Last year we got to see an
epic battle with Billy Bolt edging
out Mani Lettenbichler for the
win and Trystan Hart proving that
the North American riders can
compete on the world stage,"
said Eric Peronnard, TKO co-
producer. "It will be great to have
all the top riders back at the
TKO, and the Red Bull Straight
Rhythm Enduro event with the
top men and women facing off on
Broadway Street will be a great
way to showcase hard enduro to
new fans."
The Red Bull Straight Rhythm
Enduro challenge will take place
on Broadway Street in downtown
Nashville. Sixteen men and four
women riders will race head
to head in pairs, in a best two-
out-of-three bracket elimination
format.
The TKO will then kick off
at the Trials Training Center in
Sequatchie, Tennessee, with the
amateur-class prologue qualify-
ing on Friday and two rounds of
amateur-class racing on Saturday
to determine the AMA Grand
Championships for the Extreme
Off-Road racing series. The top
30 amateur riders will also earn a
chance to compete with the pre-
qualified pro riders on Sunday.
Sunday will include four rounds
of racing for the pro riders.
