On The Pegs
Round five of WESS is the Red Bull
111 Megawatt, your signature race.
How does it fit within the series?
“Our race has grown so much in the
last couple of years and it’s great to
see it as part of WESS for 2018 — it’s
a perfect fit for the series too. Red
Bull 111 Megawatt is labelled as Hard
Enduro but it steers towards Cross-
Country and even Beach Racing due to
the sandy, multi-lap format of Sunday’s
main event. Saturday’s qualifications
are essentially special tests so it even
ticks the Classic Enduro box a little too.
The Red Bull 111 Megawatt is WESS all
in the one race.”

I race to win championships, so if I’m
doing something I’m in it to do it right,
at maximum effort. I’d love to become
the ULTIMATE ENDURO CHAMPION at
the end of this year.”

off with Extreme XL Lagares, Portugal
on May 11-13.

WESS 2018 SCHEDULE

Do you think it will be a closely
(Portugal)
fought championship?
May 31-June 3 Erzbergrodeo
“With points scored down to 250th
(Austria)
position for each round it means that
June 8-10 Trèfle Lozérien AMV
even if you have a bad race you can
(France)
still make points. Of course you need
July 24-28 Red Bull Romaniacs
to be close to the front all the time
(Romania)
to fight for the overall title, but it also
Sept 8-9 Red Bull 111 Megawatt
means certain discipline specialists can (Poland)
stay in the championship hunt even if
Oct 26-27 Gotland Grand National
some races don’t exactly suit them.”
(Sweden)
Nov 10 Red Bull Knock Out
Finally, what would it mean for you
