Red Bull Override - December 7, 2020
DECATUR, Texas – After six demanding hours of battle through both day and night, FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Trystan Hart clawed his way to a podium finish at the second annual Red Bull Override extreme offroad race held at Rocky Ridge Ranch in Texas.
 
The six-hour race format is just one of many chellenges this race has to offer, in addition to a 10-mile extreme offroad course with three override sections that racers must complete at least once in order to be included in the official results. Hart, racing aboard the KTM 300 XC-W TPI, didn’t get off to the most favorable start but he made quick passes to insert himself into the early lead battle with Cody Webb and Mario Roman. Hart maintained a competitive stance throughout the first hour but he ran into an issue when his exhaust got smashed heading into the second hour and he was forced to preserve the bike through the remainder of the lap until he was able to stop in the pits and swap it out.
 
Hart continued to charge into the night to catch the lead battle ahead. Unfortunately, he encountered another setback when his headlight broke off the front of the bike and he was forced to navigate the last quarter of a mile in complete darkness. He made another pit stop to replace the headlight and add helmet lights and from there, he put his head down and set out to make up the lost time. However, in the last hour and a half of racing Hart began experiencing severe cramping that ultimately hindered his performance but he fought through the pain and distraction to still manage a podium finish with third overall.
 
Trystan Hart: “Red Bull Override started off great as Mario, Cody and I broke away early on in the race. Unfortunately, I had two mechanicals that cost me some time and then I had to deal with severe cramps that I had trouble riding through. I had to take several breaks to try and release the cramps but I was ultimately able to finish the race in third.”
