The best enduro riders on the planet arrived in the Catalan Pyrenees for the second consecutive year. For an entire weekend, the town of Oliana was immersed in the roar and throttle of the motorcycles, leaving behind a mark impossible to erase. Following the split from Moto Club Segre, Moto Club Oliana organized the second round of the World Championship. The world’s top riders gathered in a town devoted to motorsports, which dressed up for the occasion to welcome them with full honors.

The spectacle was guaranteed after the thrilling opening round in Sicily. All eyes were on seven-time world champion and current EnduroGP overall leader Josep Garcia. The Barcelona-born Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider was competing on home soil, something that is always an advantage, but also brings added pressure in front of family and friends. Last year he already proved his dominance on this very stage and was looking to strengthen his lead. Among the 144 riders from 18 countries were also standout names such as Steve Holcombe, Andrea Verona, Zach Pichon, and Brad Freeman. The objective was clear: take victory away from Garcia.

The course designed by the organizers promised top-quality enduro action with three timed special tests: a Cross Test, an Enduro Test, and an Xtrema Test, all designed to put every rider’s skills to the test.
