South African Rider Gets Podium Position in International Enduro Race

We may not have won the rugby this evening, but Scott Bouverie from KwaZulu-Natal flew the flag for South Africa in Turkey today… where he secured third place in an intense three-day international Extreme Enduro ‘Sea to Sky’ race.

Scott beat some of the best riders in the world in Kemer, Turkey, to clinch podium position at Mount Olympus, behind Lars Enockl from Austria in first and Andreas Lettenbichler from Germany in second.

Sea to Sky is a unique concept in which the riders literally race from the Turkish Riviera sea up the mountain to the sky; racing along the beach, over rocks and through forest… from sea level to the top of the mountain at 2,365m!

Twenty-three year old Scott has been racing since he was 9-years-old, achieving his Protea colours for motorsport in 2012.

Other accomplishments from the professional Extreme Enduro rider, sponsored by Brother leadertread KTM SA, include third place in the Roof of Africa and fifth in Red Bull Romaniacs.

Scott’s dream is to compete in the full Extreme Hard Enduro series overseas.
