Final Countdown: Find the Enduro European Champion in the Netherlands After six riding days in the Enduro European Championship, the final will be held on Friday, 28th of October, and Saturday, 29th of October. The place will be Harfsen, in the east of the Netherlands, where the organizing motoclub are perfectly prepared. For the riders there are three laps, each with four different special test, all together about 20 km per lap. Attention, the Netherlands is not only sandy tracks, most of the test will take place at the forests. The first cross-test is directly after the paddock, easy to watch for all the teams and spectators. Both days the competitors will be made up of three laps and more than 250 km of offroad riding. So far, no champion has been crowned in any class: In the overall there is the young British rider Brad Freeman in the lead, though he missed one race for an injury. But now the Colwyn Ba/DrShox KTM-rider is back again and wants to fight for the title. His rival will be the Czech Jaromir Romancik, who had won the last two races – and had just took the third place in the ISDE Team Championship in Spain two weeks ago. The Italien Nocolas Pellegrinelli must also be traded as a hot candidate: He could already have taken the lead by his fast riding – if he had not lost time on the checks. The overall championship will not only win the title but also an individually designed helmet from the sponsor Airoh. In addition to the Championships in the individual classes, there will be a competition for the nations too: The riders will not only fight for their own, but also for the nations ranking The opening ceremony for the riders and teams will take place on Thursday evening inside the big party tent on the ground. Starting time on Friday and Saturday is 8:30 am in the morning and on Saturday evening there will be the price-giving-cermony in the party tent. After that there will take place the big celebration-party, the after-season-celebration with live music from a band. A good opportunity to say goodbye to the season, because the next day is a long Sunday. More information and schedules, results, the live timing and links, there
