His Majesty King Hamad’s representative for humanitarian work and youth affairs and Royal Endurance Team captain Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa is set to participate in the 120km and 160km races in the Samorin International Endurance Championship in Slovakia, following his achievement in 2016, when he took third place in the World Endurance Championship held at the same venue.
The team will be relying on the skills and capabilities of Shaikh Nasser in continuing to lead them in European championships, which will be a major factor to reach the podium in the Slovakian races.
His leadership and guidance has always been an incentive for the team’s riders to gain more experience and increase their technical capabilities in the sport.
This was reflected in the positive results achieved by the team in several European championships in the recent past, including Shaikh Nasser’s victory in the Montalcino International Endurance Championship in Italy, in addition to the team’s dominance in the 120km race, with Mohammed Abdulsamad winning first place, followed by Yousef Al Jubouri and Khalifa Al Sindi in second and third places respectively.
Team director Dr Khalid Ahmed Hassan asserted that his leadership is a motivation to the riders to achieve the best results, gain experience and realise the desired goals of their participation in the Samorin championship.
The Royal Endurance Team is continuing its preparations for the championship through a series of continuous exercises led by the technical staff, while the Samorin International Endurance Championship Village will witness today the veterinary examination of the 120km race, which will start tomorrow.
