Woltersdorf, Germany – November 3, 2024 – The last round of the 24MX European Enduro Championship, held in Woltersdorf, Germany, concluded today with a thrilling and emotional finale. The 2024 Championship, which saw the participation of riders from all over Europe, touched four nations – Italy, San Marino, Finland and Germany – giving enduro enthusiasts an unforgettable season. The final race, held on November 2 and 3, challenged the riders on tough and climatically challenging courses, but full of spectacle.
The final day began under a wintry cold, with a layer of ice covering the bikes and the race track, putting the riders’ skills to the test. However, the sun came out and warmed the air slightly, although conditions remained crisp throughout the event. The race started at 8:00 with the riders engaged, as on the previous day, in 3 special tests: the Cross Test, the Extreme Test and the Enduro Test. The terrain, marked by numerous holes created by the passage of the competitors, made the competition even more challenging and spectacular.
In the Youth class, the German round proved particularly difficult for Riccardo Pasquato, who struggled to find the right rhythm due to a persistent pain in the finger of his left hand. Despite the difficulties, the two sixth places achieved allowed him to graduate as European Champion 2024, overtaking his French rival Gabin Allemand, who offered a brilliant performance in Germany.
In Junior2, the competition was tight until the last corner. Diego Haution and Matej Skuta put on a thrilling show, battling for first place until the end. At the end of the nine special tests, Skuta managed to take the victory of the final race day, but Haution (Team Atomic), with just one point of advantage, took the European title of Junior2. An extraordinary duel that provided unforgettable moments for the fans.
In E2 and in the Absolute, the dominance was all English, with Daniel Mundell winning both classes. The young talent of Team TNT Corse has put his golden signature on this season, imposing himself in E2 over Alex Walton and in the Absolute over Davide Soreca, proving himself to be the best European rider of 2024.
As for the team classification, Motoclub Gaerne was crowned European Champion. The 2024 Nations Trophy was won by Italy, which triumphed ahead of France and Germany. France took first place in the Youth/Junior, Slovakia won the Women category and Finland dominated the Senior.
