Erzbergrodeo 2023 | Iron Road Prolog 🥇 Andrea Verona

Andrea Verona wins Red Bull Erzbergrodeo Iron Road Prolog.

Wild card Andrea Verona comes out swinging at round two of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship to win the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo Blakläder Iron Road Prolog. GASGAS Factory Racing’s EnduroGP World Champion was on stunning form and set a blisteringly fast time up the Iron Giant’s gravel tracks that no one could match.

Long renowned as one of Hard Enduro’s most prestigious races, the Austrian Red Bull Erzbergrodeo roared into life for round two of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship with the Blakläder Iron Road Prolog. Staged across two days, the fast-paced, action-packed qualifier saw up to 1,500 competitors vie for one of the 500 places available for tomorrow’s Red Bull Erzbergrodeo main event.

Opening for business early on Friday morning, the many kilometres of gravel roads around the Iron Giant were soon filled with the sounds of dirt bikes. As the winner of the 2022 Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Manuel Lettenbichler was first to lead them off. Clocking in a time of 10 minutes and 26 seconds, he set a benchmark for the rest to follow.

Although only his first appearance in the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship, GASGAS Factory Racing’s Andrea Verona showed some impressive pace up the mountain. The reigning FIM EnduroGP World Champion’s time proved over 14 seconds quicker than RPM KTM Racing’s Will Riordan in second, with MSC Moto’s Sonny Goggia sitting third overall at the end of Friday’s racing.
