In this episode we talk about Round 4 of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship at the 2024 Red Bull Romaniacs.

We are excited to announce that World Hard Enduro has gone international! We were able to experience Romaniacs as a competitor, spectator, support crew and media and can give you a full recap.

This 5 day event based in the beautiful city of Sibiu started with the 64 Nations city ride and headed straight into Prologue. What an exhilarating experience! To be there and walk the track to witnessing the riders take on the challenge was impressive. We discuss the results in more detail.

Heading off-road the riders had 4 full days on the bikes tackling the Carpathian Mountains. With 5 classes the riders all had different experiences each day. We give you a run down of what each day consisted of as well as the daily and overall results. Let’s not forget about the incredible ladies who raced, we also discuss their results.

Marathon stages, train tracks, Leatt LIVEManiacs, Graham G-Force Jarvis, hill climbs, we have a lot to share in this episode… we hope you enjoy!

We welcome Kirsten Landman onto the World Hard Enduro Podcast following her race at Xross in Serbia and ahead of 2024 Red Bull Romaniacs. We discuss how she got into riding dirt bikes and her big break into racing as a profession.

Often professional athletes are placed on a pedestal, sometimes we forget that they’re normal people too who face very similar challenges in life. Kirsten shares not only her challenges and how she overcame them but also her racing highlights including the Dakar 2023.

We dive deeper into the topic of women in a male-dominated sport and discuss how the sport could adapt to encourage more women competitors. Lastly if you would like to support Kirsten in getting to the start line for Dakar 2025 please reach out to her via the links below.

We hope you enjoy this episode!
