After picture-perfect weather on day one at the GP of Spain for round two of the Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship, day two was the polar opposite. Forecasted adverse weather conditions rang true, bringing torrential rain and flooding throughout Saturday night and into Sunday morning.

Intense work by promoters Prime Stadium Eventos, event organisers Moto Club Segre and the FIM, ensured racing could continue. Revising the course layout and delaying the start allowed the weather to improve, creating better conditions for all.

On day two at the opening round of the 2025 Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship, it was TM MOTO Boano Factory Enduro Team’s Zach Pichon who raced to his debut EnduroGP overall victory, while taking an early lead in the championship. GASGAS Factory Racing’s Andrea Verona narrowly missed out on the win in second, with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Josep Garcia completing the podium in third.
