Garcia rides to EnduroGP victory on home soil
Under sunny skies in Oliana, Spain, the Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship readied itself for an exciting day of racing at round two. Riding a wave of momentum following his win in Friday’s AKRAPOVIC Super Test, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Josep Garcia began day one primed for business.
Sharp off the mark, the Spaniard quickly topped the opening GMOTO Enduro Test by almost six seconds from TM MOTO Boano Factory Enduro Team’s Zach Pichon, with GASGAS Factory Racing’s Andrea Verona a further seven seconds behind in third.
Fastest in the opening POLISPORT Extreme Test ahead of Sherco Racing Factory’s Theo Espinasse, Garcia extended his lead to 15 seconds over Pichon. With Verona winning the first ACERBIS Cross Test, and Garcia placing an ‘uncharacteristic’ fifth, it momentarily looked like the fight for victory was about to tighten up.
