MANX ENDURO god David Knight won the seventh running of the FunEnduro International - an enduro style race with an International Six Days Enduro format, which includes both time checks and timed special tests.
Competing against 400 riders in the Mexican event, Knight quickly established a healthy lead during the first day's competition before going on to claim a comfortable victory.
Ending the first day's competition close to 25 seconds ahead of his nearest rival, Knight found competing at high altitude to be an unforgettable experience. But it was the ever-changing grip levels of the Mexican terrain that proved hardest to master, especially during the morning of the second day's competition following heavy overnight rain.
David Knight: "I've had a great time in Mexico. I've never been involved in an event where there are so many spectators. It was unbelievable how many people came to watch the race - more that I've ever seen. Of course it's great to have won but it was also important for me to compete this year as there will be a world championship event here next year.
"I've never signed so many autographs and had so many photos taken, it was an amazing trip."
