Ross Whitehead, Championship Director, FIM Hard Enduro World Championship said: “I have this goal to make sure the Championship and Hard Enduro grow to be the best they can be globally. We try our best to accommodate everyone and make sure this model works commercially. Nine rounds keep the championship sustainable, and we have listened to the teams and riders, especially on the logistics and stress of travelling between continents. We continue to acknowledge our mistakes every year, and try our best to mitigate them to a point where everyone is happy, year in and year out. I am excited to give 2027 another big push, and I hope all stakeholders benefit.”
