The seventh round of the season gave the EnduroGP stars an X-Rocks Enduro Test that was typical of the South of France with roots, pebbles and dust… But whatever the type of terrain, in the end, it is Steve HOLCOMBE (GB – Beta) who wins… and ends all suspense before the final round in Germany!
With a new double win on the X-Rocks Enduro Test this weekend, his 5th consecutive victory and his 7th of the season, the Factory Beta rider will hold the Mika Ahola “Brave One” Trophy belt for a second consecutive year! This is the very first rider, since the creation of this trophy in 2012, who has won the belt twice…The Brit took advantage of the troubles of the only rider who was still able to thwart his plans, Alex SALVINI (I – Husqvarna), 2nd and 16th. For his part, Brad FREEMAN (GB – Beta) confirms his place among the three fastest riders on the test in 2018, but he will have to keep an eye on Jamie MCCANNEY (GB – Yamaha), Eero REMES (SF – TM) and Loïc LARRIEU (F – Yamaha) who can all get this third place. We also witnessed another solid performance from fresh Junior World Champion 2018, Matteo CAVALLO (I – Beta Boano), 7/7, as well as Andrea VERONA (I – TM), 10/9. And another Junior rider shone in this X-Rocks Enduro Test; Joe WOOTTON (GB – Husqvarna), 9/8.
