Round one of the 2021 Hard Enduro World Championship was cancelled today but Endurocross racing still went ahead at Extreme XL Lagares, albeit in a mud bath – Billy Bolt and Manuel Lettenbichler shared moto wins and Graham Jarvis took third overall...

In the end the 2021 Extreme XL Lagares became a no-points scoring race in the Hard Enduro World Championship – rightly so many said especially after race day dawned a very wet one in Porto. After already being hit by a dramatic restriction which left the organisers with no choice but to run three SuperEnduro-style races instead of the planned extreme event, conditions finally forced the decision to cancel the race as a HEWC round.

Most riders across the different classes decided to race on, though not all of them were totally committed. A bit of training? Race practice? We’ve come all this way so we might as well ride? The TV cameras are still rolling? Something like that…
