The sun shone again on Santa Marta de Penaguiao the 2023 Borilli Enduro European Championship Round #2 Day 2. The Eleveit day 2 saw the riders again face each other within the three special tests designed for the event; the 24MX Extreme Test and the Airoh Cross Test remained unchanged while the Eleveit Enduro Test underwent changes to ensure riders’ safety. Ruts, roots and stones gave the riders a hard time, they had to adapt their riding style to the new set-up of the tests.
Riccardo Fabris
Double for Matej Skuta, who even today turned out to be the overall best rider; also on this second day the Czechoslovak rider took home the best overall time. David Abgrall improved and finished second; a race in a comeback of his own, due to an opaque first lap. Third place overall for the young Romain Dagna; after yesterday’s victory in the Youth he managed to realise better and better times and to get on the Overall podium.
Matej Skuta: “I am very happy with my day. The tests were really difficult but in the end I managed to make excellent times and again win the first position of both class and scratch.“
David Abgrall: “I started slowly and as a result I had to push really hard to make up for lost time but in the end I succeeded. I finished second overall and first in class and that makes me happy.“
Romain Dagna: “My race went really well, I had a great feeling with the bike and also with the tests. I’m really very happy.”
