2nd round in Estonia

At the 8th and 9th of July 2017 the second round of the European Enduro Championship will take place in Paikuse / Estonia.

It will not only be the second round of this season, it will also be the second time in Paikuse ever. The organizer „MTÜ Paikuse Motoklubi“ still have a lot of experience from the year 2011, and more than 35 years in organizing enduro competition at all.

Like the last time, the headquarters are located central at the mainroad „ Paide Mantee 19“ in 86602 Paikuse.

In the flat costal region of Estonia will be total different conditions to the first race in Portugal: The riders have to pass deep sand, extended roots and viscid mud on the 60 km long loop, which will be used three times a day, with three special-tests each round.

Even if the region is known as place for holidays, because of the beautiful location at the Baltic sea, it will certainly not relaxing for the competitors, but strenuous.

With this conditions, the cards of the championship will be redistributed: specially for the leader, Oscar Balletti. Usually the Italians do not have a lot of sand to ride in their home.

Perhaps the second, Theophile Espinasse from France, can profit from his early start as a Junior, because the sandy track will not be smashed this early.

With Dennis Schröter we will welcome a special guest: The three-times overall-champion from Germany is well known as a specialist for sand and takes the competition to prepare for the very next round: The European Enduro Championship in Germany will also be a round oft he German championship.

After their successes in Portugal 9 British riders will be making the long trip to Estonia - Jamie Lewis. Dan Mundell, Alex Walton, Luke Flack, Lee Sealey, Adam Extance, Jay Thomas, Thomas Ellwood and Joe Wootton. 

All in all signed 159 riders from 17 different nations for the round in Estonia in July.
