Lettenbichler Wins Red Bull
Outliers Hard Enduro
G
ermany's Manuel Lettenbi-
chler won round seven of the
FIM Hard Enduro World Cham-
pionship, Red Bull Outliers in
Canada, August 26-28. The Red
Bull KTM Factory Racing rider
overcame a titanic battle with
home favorite FMF KTM Factory
Racing's Trystan Hart to take the
win and claim the championship
lead with just one round remain-
ing. Sherco Factory Racing's
Mario Roman pushed the duo
hard all the way to round out the
podium in third.
Making its first-ever stop on
Canadian soil, the FIM Hard
Enduro World Championship wit-
nessed a bar-to-bar battle at Red
Bull Outliers. In the heart of its
Badlands region, the world's best
Hard Enduro riders went head-to-
head at the penultimate round of
the season.
Staged across two days, rac-
ing got underway in downtown
Calgary with an urban Endu-
rocross prologue. However,
with the weather turning sour,
extremely heavy rain meant the
action was short-lived with racing
brought to an early close for the
day.
On Sunday, riders faced a two-
and-a-half-hour multi-lap battle
through the Badlands region.
Famed for its dinosaur fossils,
the barren area also served up
a mean course. Steep climbs,
tricky off-camber traverses and
tough drop-offs ensured a brutal
course to master.
Chasing a home win, Hart
meant business and was eager to
add to the victory he secured last
