I do believe the amateurs had a challenging race course , and the idea of Pro Only Override sections helped negate bottlenecks that plague most Hard Enduro events .
Mario Roman showcased why he is one of the worlds best Hard Enduro racers . During the Saturday two hour qualification race , he bid his time behind Ryder Leblond . Once Lebond made a mistake , Roman took the lead and continued to widen the gap lap after lap .
