World Enduro Super Series 2018 - Red Bull Knock Out (NED) - Recap

During the 1-hour qualification heat with all 1,000 riders, it was Nathan WATSON (GBR) who was the fastest in the sand and qualified as first. The best 750 riders qualified for the finals. In the 2 hours final race it was MXGP rider Glenn Coldenhoff who took the lead and for a long time it seemed the local hero was taking the win. But in the last hour of the finals, the X-loop opened. A new part of the track with extra tough obstacles. Coldenhoff got slowed down by heavy traffic of struggling amateur riders and he saw Nathan Watson pass by. Finally, a Red Bull Knock Out-win for the 24-year Watson, after he became 2nd in 2015 and 2016.
