For the 2nd Akrapovic SuperTest of the season, the Moto Club of Spoleto has shaped the test in the bed of a river in the heart of the city. Enduro is a popular sport in Italy. The Tifosi came to support their many local riders. The rule was to respect the social distanciation and the sanitary regulations created by the EnduroGP promoter. The fans have seen a great show.
The 1st surprise of the evening came from the leader of the championship Steve HOLCOMBE (GBR-Beta) only P18 at 6 seconds from the best time. Suffering from a slight technical issue on his bike, the Brit couldn’t find the right pace. Brad FREEMAN (GBR-Beta) 1:35.30 was not pleased with his result P5 at 2 seconds from the best time.
