It was a relatively quiet week in the Enduro world, but it was still a great one with a spectacular EnduroGP Wales going off in Europe, and FMSQ rolling in New Brunswick, Canada. Add on some ISDE team announcement news, Sam Sunderland’s retirement, the release of the 2025 EnduroGP calendar, a potential Triumph enduro bike siting, and we definitely have some stuff to talk about!

The sixth round of the Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship is taking place this weekend at Cwmythig Hill in Rhayader, Wales. Let’s dive in and take a look at the big stories coming into the penultimate round of the Championship!

This will be the first time in 15 years that EnduroGP has a Welsh round, and with the high level of interest and support for Enduro racing in the United Kingdom, this weekend should be off the hook in terms of support. It’s going to be a fun one to follow.

After another scorching day of racing at round five of the Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Josep Garcia secured a commanding win at the POLISPORT GP of Slovakia, extending his championship points lead in the process. Beta Factory Racing’s Brad Freeman put in an impressive ride in Gelnica to take second, followed by day one winner GASGAS Factory Racing’s Andrea Verona in third. Kyron Bacon (Yamaha) emerged victorious again on day two in the GALFER FIM Junior Enduro World Championship.

Kicking off the action at round five of the Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship, the AKRAPOVIC Super Test saw Beta Factory Racing’s Brad Freeman take the win for the first time this season.

The POLISPORT GP of Slovakia is already proving to be action-packed, with Freeman topping the timesheets at the closely fought AKRAPOVIC Super Test in Gelnica and starting his weekend off on a high. Beta Factory Racing teammate Nathan Watson and CH Racing Sherco’s Zach Pichon went head-to-head in front of the packed crowd to cross the finish line with the exact same time, just 0.26 seconds short of Freeman.

No joking around this time out of the gates, the past week was a great one in the Enduro/Off-Road world!

Also, we recently had Aussie GNCC and USSE rider Gus Riordan (FMF KTM FACTORY Racing Landers) on the podcast, be sure to check it out. Let’s get to it!
