RUPRECHT UNSTOPPABLE, PAVONI AND CAVALLO PROTAGONISTS

On Friday, 13, Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 May, in the splendid setting of Peso da Régua in Portugal, a few kilometers from Porto, the second round of the 2022 FIM EnduroGP World Championship was held.

A race weekend under a warm spring sun interspersed with episodes of heavy rain showers, which saw our riders competing against a path expertly designed by the Motoclub Natureza Extreme divided into four special technical and demanding stages like only dirt races Portuguese they know how to be.

 

The stage of Peso da Régua, valid for the third and fourth round of the EnduroGP 2022, opened with an Enduro test about 6.5 km long, followed by an insidious 5.5 km long Cross Test, an extreme natural test short but very technical in true Portuguese style to close with the Friday night Super Test to be repeated for all laps.

 

An extraordinary weekend for our team and for our Australian rider Wil Ruprecht who showed his great skills on Portuguese soil and won both days of competition in the E2 class and in the prestigious and hard-fought Enduro GP class. On the opening day Wil fought with several drivers for the first position and never gave up showing speed and tenacity. At the end of the day, the Australian rider and the whole team celebrated their well-deserved first double victory of 2022, Enduro GP and E2 class. Also on Sunday Wil Ruprecht immediately pushed on the accelerator and for the whole day of competition he remained in the lead overall, recording incredible times especially in the Enduro Test where he always made the difference. The final score is a first place in the Enduro GP and a first place in the E2. Wil returns home leader in both E2 and EnduroGP.

 

He is once again on the podium, as in the Spanish GP, our Piedmontese driver Matteo Cavallo. On the opening day, the E1 class rider ran a good race finishing third and eighth in the Enduro GP. On the following day Matteo was unable to repeat himself but obtained a good fourth place in E1 and a tenth place in the Enduro GP.

Excellent performance also for Matteo Pavoni in the E3 class, the reigning Junior champion raced highlighting grit and tenacity. After the fourth place on the opening day Matteo Pavoni confirmed the same score also on Day2.

After the Portuguese trip, the Endurogp circus will take a long break until June when the third round of the 2022 season will be staged in Italy, in Carpineti, on 24, 25 and 26 June.
