Red Bull KTM Factory racing head to Hawkstone Park for Wess round six
Press release available only in original language.
Rnd 6, World #enduro Super Series – Hawkstone Park Cross-Country, England
With just three rounds remaining on the 2018 calendar, WESS riders now move away from the hard #enduro events that made up the majority of the races to date and take on two cross-country competitions. The first is Hawkstone Park, a circuit synonymous with world-class #racing having hosted international motocross for over 60 years.
2017 saw the Hawkstone Park Cross-Country run as a round of the EnduroGP World Championship. Nathan Watson won the top class with teammate Josep Garcia finishing third in the Enduro2 category. This year, the pair will be joined by hard #enduro star Taddy Blazusiak as they take on the tough, sandy terrain of the famous venue.
Fresh from his season-best fifth-place finish at Red Bull 111 Megawatt, Watson is keen to carry his momentum into the cross-country at Hawkstone Park. Despite the added pressure of a home race, the young Brit is looking forward to impressing in front of the local fans.
Nathan Watson: "I've been looking forward to Hawkstone ever since it was added to the calendar. I did well there last year so I have a good idea of what to expect and how to train for it. The sand at Hawkstone suits me well and I don’t mind when things get bumpy, which they will with so many riders competing this year. There is a little added pressure #racing in the UK, but it’s not often we get to perform in front of friends and family so hopefully I can put on a good show. It’s definitely going to be a tough race, you have to gauge your speed right from the beginning, but I’m feeling fit and can’t wait to get #racing.”
