When it was clear that the round of Maxxis Enduro GP series is held in Tallinn I had no doubts. It is good to race again with the guys and I don't have any special goals for this weekend. I just want to have fun and of course I will give my maximum,“ said Aigar Leok. Comparing to Estonian championship is the world championship of course harder but this won't scare Leok. „World championship is harder and it must be as there are the best drivers in the world.

The stages will be for sure very interesting and enduro has many fans in Estonia therefore I hope to see many spectators on the stages,“ said Leok.
