This weekend marks a significant milestone for the Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship as it makes a much-anticipated return to Romania after more than a decade. The city of Bacau is set to host the third round of the championship, reintroducing the thrilling competition to a region rich in motorsport history.

The championship heads into Romania with a fierce battle at the top. Honda Racing RedMoto Enduro Team’s Steve Holcombe and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Josep Garcia are currently tied in the EnduroGP standings, each with two wins under their belt this season. The stage is set for a showdown that could see either rider take a definitive lead in the points race.

The Competition Heats Up

The AKRAPOVIC Super Test will kick off the racing on Friday evening near the Bacau Business and Exhibition Centre. Garcia, having dominated the previous Friday tests, aims for a hat-trick of wins in these critical opening challenges. The weekend will then unfold over two grueling days of racing, with each day demanding riders complete a 54-kilometre course three times, totaling six hours of riding daily.

The technical and physically demanding course includes several tests like the ACERBIS Cross test, the POLISPORT Extreme Test, and the MAXXIS Enduro Test. Each segment will challenge the riders’ endurance and skill, making for an exciting spectacle.

Key Players and Potential Outcomes

While Holcombe and Garcia are the headline acts, they are not without strong competition. GASGAS Factory Racing’s Andrea Verona and Beta Factory Racing’s Nathan Watson have been close contenders, often finishing just seconds behind the leaders. Both are well-positioned to vie for the top spot in Bacau.

Injuries and illness have hampered some riders’ early-season performances, notably Brad Freeman from Beta, who is eager to return to form and compete for victories once again. Samuele Bernardini and Jamie McCanney are also ones to watch, as both have shown podium potential this season.

Class Battles and Championship Dynamics

The Enduro1 class also sees Holcombe and Garcia tied, with Jamie McCanney not far behind in third place. The Enduro2 class has Andrea Verona pulling ahead with three wins, though Nathan Watson and Samuele Bernardini remain strong contenders.

In Enduro3, TM Racing’s Matteo Cavallo leads but faces stiff competition from Hamish MacDonald and Brad Freeman, with mere points separating the top contenders.

Junior and Youth Competitions

The GALFER FIM Junior Enduro World Championship is witnessing a tight race with Axel Semb leading a competitive group. The Enduro Youth category, led by Manuel Verzeroli, is equally contested, with several young riders proving they can challenge for the top spots.

As the EnduroGP World Championship revs up for an exhilarating weekend in Bacau, the stage is set not just for individual glory but for ongoing battles across various classes. With the championship’s return to Romania, the riders are not just racing for points but also making history in one of the sport’s most celebrated arenas.
