Just days after the paddock saw the double crowning of Matthew PHILLIPS (AUS – Sherco) in EnduroGP and E2, we look back on an emotional AMV Grand Prix of France..

Paying Tribute
Moments after the closing ceremony of the 2016 Maxxis FIM EnduroGP World Championship, some of the top stars of the sport (Matthew PHILLIPS, Laia SANZ, Johnny AUBERT and Mathias BELLINO) went to visit all the volunteers from the Cahors Trials Club… just as the dedicated crew were about to celebrate the end of the Grand Prix over a meal, the stars of the EnduroGP rewarded them with a surprise meeting – and each rider gave a speech heaping praise on the club for their work throughout the week!

REMES, A Worthy Successor!
The Enduro Test at the Grand Prix AMV of France was shorter than most during the season, but that did not stop the winner from putting in a dominant performance. Located in the small village of St Pierre la Feuille in the hills above Cahors, this last Enduro Test of the season was very popular, with huge numbers of spectators. And for the first time in the history of the Mika Ahola “Brave One” Trophy it is a Finn who walks away with the belt – Eero REMES (TM)!

VIDEO day1 Britain’s Steve HOLCOMBE (Beta) has claimed the 2016 Enduro 3 World Championship title following his E3 class win on day one of the AMV GP of France, held in Cahors.
Starting the event with one hand on the title Steve claimed his 11th day win of the series to wrap-up his first ever enduro world championship title in style. “Winning this title is amazing, the perfect end to what has been an incredible year for me,” commented a delighted HOLCOMBE at the end of the day. “It’s been an anxious time running up to this event. I felt good today but not exactly at the level I’ve been riding all year. It was close with Manuel MONNI (TM) today and Johnny AUBERT (Beta) had a great ride considering his injured shoulder. They kept me on my toes but I did enough to become world champion, which feels amazing.”

Impressive Start !
Didier VALADE and the Cahors Trial Club made the things big for this Super Test… A Trial Show, a Mountain Bike Show, a Dee Jay, and a capacity of around 8 000 spectators! And at the end, they were rewarded. Indeed, it’s even more than 8 000 spectators that were present around the test of the Commercial Area of Pradines… If they had already exploded the attendance of 2016, the French public offered also an exceptional welcome to the stars of the EnduroGP and even more to their local riders…
