Claiming his second win in the 2019 World
Enduro Super Series, Rockstar Energy
Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Graham Jarvis
has topped the Hixpania Hard Enduro in
Spain. Battling his way to a well-deserved
overall victory in the three-day event, Jarvis
also moves to the top of the championship
standings heading in to the second half of
the season. Giving Jarvis a fight for the top-
spot throughout the event, Alfredo Gomez
won the opening two days to finally place as
the overall runner-up. Completing a strong
team performance, Billy Bolt enjoyed a posi-
tive performance to claim fourth.
After his winning result in round three at
Erzbergrodeo, Jarvis headed to the fourth
stop of WESS confident of adding to his win
tally. Last topping the race in 2017, he arrived
in confident spirits, but with teammate Go-
mez also a previous winner knew he would
have to give his all in order to challenge for
the win.
Staged over three days, racing began on
Friday with the SuperEncierro Prologue in
Aguilar de Campoo’s town square, followed
by Saturday’s Campoo X-Treme cross-country
and concluding with Sunday’s feature race
the Lost Roads hard enduro.
From the off Rockstar Energy Husqvarna
Factory Racing set the pace with Gomez
securing a solid victory in Friday’s prologue.
Determined to put in a good showing in front
of his home crowd, Gomez didn’t disappoint.
Joined on the podium by teammate Bolt, it
was immediately clear the fight for victory
