Monteils, 13 July 2024 – The first day of the second round of 24mx MiniEnduro European Cup in Monteils ended successfully, which saw over 70 riders at the start for this exciting second race of the season. The event was characterized by excellent organization managed by the Motoclub Les 2 Vallées, which guaranteed a day of competition full of sport and adrenaline.
The start took place at 9am, with the riders tackling a total of 4 laps. Each lap included two special tests, designed to test the participants’ technical skills.
The first special to be run was the Cross Test, developed over 1.5 km. The riders started on a grass field, facing a fast and linear section. As we approached the finish line, the course became more technical, featuring single tracks with rocks that put the participants’ technical skills to the test.

This was followed by the Enduro Test, a special which saw the riders initially test themselves in a long, fast stretch on a grass field. At the halfway point, the riders tackled a technical single track inside a forest, a segment of approximately 2 minutes that required great concentration and skill. The special then ended with a further fast stretch on a grass field, before crossing the finish line.
In the 125 Mini class, the Frenchman Emerick Vergote took victory on this first day, distancing the Italian Gioele Scibilia by 21 seconds. Completing the podium, in third position, was another Frenchman, Ewen Forestier-Chiron, who finished the race just 11 seconds behind Scibilia.

All-Italian challenge in the 50 Mini class with riders Davide Cabass and Nicolò Mancinelli fighting for victory throughout the day. Cabass took the first step of the podium, followed by Mancinelli a minute behind.
An Italian story also regarding the Junior class. The first two positions in this category were driven by Cristian Marioli and Evan Moschetti who fought for the final victory until the last special test. Marioli was the first to stop the clock and took home the victory by less than two seconds over Moschetti. Duccio Giraldi closed the podium.
In the Women 125 Mini category, France dominated the scene. Jean Satine took victory on this first day, overtaking championship leader Charlene Boudon, who finished in second place. Pauline Nicon took third place.
