The summer break has finally arrived! The riders will now be able to relax for two months and recharge their batteries before the next Grand Prix which will take place at the legendary Hawkstone Park circuit in the UK in late September. But for now, it’s time to debrief what happened last weekend in Portugal…
Escuderia Castelo Branco
“In 15 years of working with the World Championship, I have rarely met a Moto Club as professional and efficient as you…” These were the words from the Race Director Heinrich SCHMIDT at the Jury meeting which ended the Polisport Grand Prix of Portugal. And the FIM official was not exaggerating; the Moto Club coached by Helder ESTEVES did an amazing job throughout the race week and for many months before. Electricity, water and Wi-Fi were ready on Monday before the opening of the paddock, and there were more than 150 volunteers present during the three days of racing to ensure safety on the special tests and on the roads. The Super Test was organized masterfully, as were the other tests – especially the Xtreme Test. There were no big hiccups and even the slightest problem was resolved very quickly and efficiently. Escuderia Castelo Branco is clearly in the running to win the title of “Organisation of the Year”.

In recent years, Belgian representatives in EnduroGP havebecome few and far between. Indeed, since Jean-François GOBLET and Cédric CREMER, we had not seen any regular riders competing in the World Championship.
