I've wondered this as well.
The RedBull Hard Enduro series really seems to be out on its own.
It does not appear to fall under any regulatory body. FIM seems to have no say in it.
The "top riders" are top riders in the series but aren't really a part of any other major series. Even the races are rarely part of a national or local schedule.
Without a governing body it is understandable that smaller companies would focus efforts elsewhere. I'm sure lots of riders watch it. But tons of riders also follow their national series races and ISDE events.
Most local and national races are Enduro or CrossCountry and so it makes sense for GasGas to be focusing efforts there.
Still, I'd love to see a factory GG rider at the RedBull Hard Enduro races.
GasGas still holds the 2nd most wins at Erzberg!
