The public lottery results have also been published, with a record 42 nationalities applying to take part this year.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/43ride.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/09\/enduro-world-series-2016-valberg-sam-hill.jpg\" alt=\"The Countdown to the 2017 EWS is ON!\" width=\"1050\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">And although the EWS has a reputation for hosting some of the toughest races on the planet, the all new Challenger Events will offer a more relaxed option for anyone who wants to try EWS level racing without committing themselves to the full course. Taking place the day before the main EWS race in Rotorua, Tasmania, Ireland and Whistler, these races will give riders the chance to experience a selection of the stages being used in the main race. The Challengers are designed to offer a fun, mellow atmosphere whilst still offering world class trails, with each featuring three or four stages from the race the following day. And Challenger racers can then stay and cheer their heroes down some of the same trails they\u2019ve just raced the day before.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/43ride.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2016\/09\/enduro-world-series-2016-france-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Countdown to the 2017 EWS is ON!\" width=\"1050\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The EWS Challengers open for entry on <a href=\"http:\/\/enduroworldseries.com\/\">enduroworldseries.com<\/a> on February 15th, and places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. <\/p>\n<p>Chris Ball, Managing Director of the Enduro World Series:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">We\u2019re all really excited about the new Challenger events.
