The third round of the 2025 Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship took us to the beautiful and challenging tracks of Sweden for the Polisport GP. The event delivered a weekend full of action, unpredictable weather, and intense racing.
In this 23-minute highlight video, “Against The Clock” gives us a raw look at what went down – with no filters, just pure Enduro. From behind-the-scenes moments to race footage and rider insights, the Swedish GP offered plenty to talk about.
Cold Weather, Tough Trails
Riders were welcomed by slippery and cold conditions in Sweden. It had been raining for days, and the terrain was full of rocks, roots, and polished concrete – not easy to handle, even for the top riders. As one rider said, “No one told us to train for racing on polished concrete!”
Still, spirits were high. The Super Test was tricky but exciting. Many riders shared how difficult the surface was but felt good about their performance. And when the sun finally came out, it brought some relief and a boost of energy for the weekend.
Rider Emotions and Comebacks
Several riders were returning from injuries, aiming to get back to full strength. One rider said, “I’m still not 100%, but I’m here to race and give it everything.” The competition was tight, and staying focused and consistent made all the difference.
For some, the Swedish GP brought special emotions. A rider who hadn’t stood on the overall podium in a long time said, “It means so much – I’ve been working really hard for this. I’m emotional but super happy.”
Technical Challenges and Winning Strategies
With long race days and slippery tests, the key to success was avoiding mistakes and finding the best lines through the extreme terrain. Riders mentioned how training in tight, slippery areas helped them prepare for the tricky sections in Sweden.
In the end, the results showed just how competitive this championship is. One racer explained, “Yesterday I made the podium, which is good for the championship. Today I’ll try again – everyone learns fast in this terrain.”
