Weekly Round-Up | 2025-04-07
It was a big week in Enduro, especially in Europe where the 2025 EnduroGP season got underway at the GP of Portugal with Josep Garcia winning Day 1 to prove that his recently repaired is just fine, thank you very much, and Zach Pichon took his first ever GP win on Day 2. Francesca Nocera and Kyron Bacon took the top steps of the podium on both days in GP Women and GP Junior, and we’re waiting to see if Steve Holcombe’s knee is ok after he had to abandon Day 2 while in the lead.
