The last round of the Borilli Enduro European Championship 2022 is getting closer and will see the coronation of the European champions at its conclusion; no titles have been awarded yet; for this reason every single special test will be crucial. All classes see their riders at a handful of points from each other; therefore, a last Round fought to the last corner is announced.
The Enduro European Championship 4th Round will take place on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th of October in the German town of Rudersdorf, located a few kilometres from the capital Berlin. A conclusive act that will consist of 3 special tests placed within a circuit of about 60 km. A few metres from the paddock will be located the 24MX Extreme Test which will give a remarkable show thanks to its obstacles; the Airoh Cross Test, with its sandy bottom and its length of 4km, will be the second test to be tackled while the Eleveit Enduro Test, traced within an undergrowth full of stones and roots, will close the lap. The Cross Test and Enduro Test are also located near the paddock, both about 10 minutes away.
In addition to the special tests, the organisation plans to set up a tight Timecheck; a transfer part between two time controls will see the time, made available for its journey, decrease as the laps pass.

Those that await us on German soil will be two days of intense competition and up to the previous Rounds, which have been characterised by a high technical level and variety of tracks.
