And that's it, 2022 is in the BAG!

The final of the epic 2022 EWS Season went down in the French Pyrenees, and Orange Factory Racing were on track for one final rip of the year.

Lachlan had a tricky Pro Stage and went into race day aiming to ride clean and have fun. It paid off and he fought his way up the rankings from 96th to 53rd, ending the season on a high.

Tom Wilson had one of his best weekends of the year, but, punctured on the longest stage and had to ride his rim for 8 minutes which bumped him down to 100andsomething place. Not the result he was hoping for from the final race but, not one to spoil his best season of racing to date.

Joe Connell had a scorching weekend, riding his experimental 279 super-enduro bike. Great riding, great racing and his second-best result of the year with a 37th place.
