Is the New Generation Ready ? IS THE NEW GENERATION READY ? The prize giving ceremony of the MAXXIS FIM World Enduro Championship in St Flour (GP AMV of France) on September Sunday 13 th was the opportunity for ABC communication to tribute 2 sacred monsters of Enduro. Indeed, Anders ERIKSSON (S - BMW), 7 times World Champion and Björne CARLSSON (S - Husaberg) winner in 1996, stop their careers with almost 20 seasons of Enduro at the highest level (17 world seasons for Björne CARLSSON always with Husaberg) The surprised notification of " his retirement " by Samuli ARO (SF - KTM) 5 times World Champion was also the great emotion of this evening. The Finnish was so affected that he was not able to control his tears.... Another new with also the retirement of Alessandro BELOMETTI (I - KTM) on his international career at the end of the 2009 season. Already, last year, Stefan MERRIMAN (Australia) bowed out of World Enduro to return at home... In less than 2 seasons, the WEC has undoubtedly made a new start with the retirement of these sacred monsters as MERRIMAN, ARO, ERIKSSON, CARLSSON and others. Alessandro BELOMETTI (I) Is the WEC generation ready ? Is the " WEC generation " issued for most of them from Junior World Enduro Championship created in 2005, ready to take over ? Not so sure, because Enduro is also based on experience and control. Respectively EJ winner in 2005 and 2006, 2007, Cristobal GUERRERO (E - Yamaha) and Joakim LJUNGGREN (S - Husaberg) are the perfect illustration of these remarks. Very fast and determined, but sometimes injured, these 2 riders fought themselves until the last Grand Prix the 3 rd Final rank in E2. Their improving is real, but maybe not enough fast as wished…. Joakim LJUNGGREN (S) Tomas OLDRATI (I - KTM) Junior Champion in 2008 seems to improve faster than these 2 predecessors. Without an injury in Greece, he would be able to attend the 3rd final rank in E1 to his most experienced co-riders Simone ALBERGONI (I - KTM) However, other Junior riders as Marc BOURGEOIS (F - HVA), or Simon WAKELY (UK - HVA), Tom SAGAR (GB - Husaberg) have more difficulties to overcome the gap between Juniors and Seniors… So, Oriol MENA (E – Husaberg) just new Junior Champion knows what he will Oriol MENA (E) have to face…. Scandinavian Enduro " out of order ".. CARLSSON, ERIKSSON ARO, SILVAN …. Sweden and Finland has lost many of their leaders for last season ! Mainly Sweden, except Joakim LJUNGGREN is expecting new talents and prepares hiself to a couple of difficult years. Moreover, this important Enduro nation is no longer one of the favourite for the ISDE.... And without "Junior" riders, no alternative !! If Finland does not react, it will have to face a shortage while ! Of course SALMINEN , AHOLA are still there for a couple of season but TARKKALA , MATTILA , REMES .. has still not realized their goal and the expectation of their Teams. And no Finnish Junior rider took part into the 2009 WEC !!! Samuli ARO (SF) Les Latins au top !! On the other hand, the Latins "come back" on the top was confirmed in 2009. As the French riders who represent almost 25 % of the whole riders and have sometimes scored in 2009 until 8 podiums out of 12 ( MEO, GAUTHIER, AUBERT, THAIN, NAMBOTIN, CERVANTES, FORTUNATO, JOLY in Grand Prix of Greece)...! Spain, with the leader CERVANTES improves season after season with GUERRERO and also the very good Enduro Junior team (MENA, Victor GUERRERO, SANTOLINO …) who will be also the main favourite at the ISDE. Cristobal GUERRERO (E) But some difficulties also on " Latin side " for Italy that did not win one Grand Prix in 2009 except few podiums of ALBERGONI and OLDRATI !!! The FMI can worry about the situation... BELOMETTI stops, BOTTURI and DINI resist, ALBERGONI , ZANNI , PAOLI , BETONI prefer to take part into the European Championship (!). Many transalpine Juniors riders have never confirmed (BELOTTI, CANOVA, FALGARI, COMINOTTO...) and GRITTI delay to win... Undoubtedly, Tomas OLDRATI is the only Italian replacement... with perhaps Oscar BALLETTI (HM Honda). So if France and Spain are really "healthy", other nations and East countries may be worried with the only rider " OBLUCKI " (Poland) are really far from their prestigious past ... Last solution : the MOTOCROSS ? Met the day before the Grand Prix of Greece, Fabio FARIOLI , Team Manager of KTM Racing did not conceal his problems to compose his 2010 Team and find the future(s) champion(s) "If he was in the WEC actual Paddock, we would know him ! There are many very good riders but probably no one of them able to win next year... "." And if the solution was again the Motocross ? As Johny AUBERT (F – KTM) arrived on the WEC in 2006, many Crossmen joined the World Enduro Championship recently. Mainly in 2007 and 2008, SMETS, BOLLEY, SEGUY, CAPS …tried at riding between tape without great success !! To be quite honest, a few of them succeed in !! CERVANTES (arrived in 2003), AUBERT and on a less important degree Rodrig THAIN (F – TM), Fabio Antoine MEO (F) MOSSINI (I – HM) and of course the "phenomenon " Antoine MEO (F – HVA) !! Do not forget also Christophe NAMBOTIN (A promising French Cross rider). On the other hand , riders as SEISTOLA (SF – HVA), KADLECEK (CZ – TM), Aaron BERNARDEZ (E – BMW) have rather disappointed while some of them as BEGGI et CHERUBINI have disappeared during the season !! So, where is the solution ?? So difficult to say… Son let's dream to the venue of "some rookies " from Australia and managed by Stefan MERRIMAN or also the venue during one complete season of Kurt CASELI (USA – KTM) or Ricky DIETRICH (USA – Kawasaki) who improve quickly the young American Enduro !! Our Teams Managers will have the necessary flair …. Ricky DIETRICH (USA) Actually, the 2009 WEC turned off …… so we wait impatiently the 2010 WEC !!! .

Il Campionato del Mondo di Enduro torna in Italia nel momento in cui il nostro Paese è protagonista, come da tradizione, della competizione iridata. Dopo il primo weekend di gare in Francia, Andrea Verona e Thomas Oldrati sono ai vertici della E1, Matteo Cavallo e Alex Salvini nella top 5 della E2 e Davide Guarneri 3° nella E3. Risultati che - uniti alle belle prestazioni dei giovani nelle altre classi - confermano il livello dell’Enduro italiano, ben rappresentato anche dai team e dagli addetti ai lavori. In un periodo particolare come quello che stiamo vivendo, l’organizzazione di una prova del Mondiale in Italia è sinonimo di ottimismo e fiducia verso un ritorno alla normalità che speriamo possa avvenire quanto prima. Sono certo che gli organizzatori di ABC Communication e del Moto Club Spoleto sapranno offrire un evento caratterizzato, da una parte, dall’alto tasso tecnico di Prove Speciali e Trasferimenti, dall’altra dal rispetto delle norme anti Covid-19, per la sicurezza di tutti. Mi preme sottolineare e ringraziare la disponibilità delle Autorità locali, che hanno perfettamente colto lo spirito di questa disciplina e le opportunità che una manifestazione così importante offre in termini di ritorno sul territorio.

  • Metzeler Leading Top Spots in All Three Classes After 2 Weekend of World Enduro Competition
    FIM World Enduro Championship 2009 Metzeler Leading Top Spots in all Three Classes nd after 2 Weekend of World Enduro Competition With variable weather conditions at the Spanish track, Metzeler riders on both Honda and KTM machines win on extreme terrain Igualada, Spain, March 28-29 Metzeler was out in force at the second race of the Iberian Peninsula tour – HM-Honda's Mika Ahola left the Spanish GP with a strong lead in the E1 World Enduro Championship, while the E2 and E3 classes were colored by KTM riders Johnny Aubert and Ivan Cervantes , whose closest competition is none other than their teammates. Contrary to the Ahola ’s unmatched performance in Portugal, the mixed and often difficult Spanish conditions just 60 km west of Barcelona gave the competition an opportunity to raise the game as Albergoni ran past Ahola for the Sunday win, by a margin of over 17 seconds. Add this to the excellent tests run by Aubert and Cervantes , Metzeler and KTM shared a very nice sweep of the three classes for the two races of the 2 nd weekend of the World Enduro Championship. Day 1 The first day of ENDURO 1 was marred by midday rain, and with a 70km route through the mountains near the Catalan town of Igualada, it Finnish rider Mika Ahola leads the E1 class after two weekends of competition. was a long day for all teams. The lead riders Mika Ahola (HM-Honda Zanardo) and Albergoni (KTM Factory) seemed to have the best setups all day, swapping times and positions several times before Ahola programmed his last enduro test like an engineer for a win on the day.

  • ENDURON LAJIESITTELY 13.3.2012 Tämä Lajiesittely on Lyhyt Tiivistelmä Endurosta Ja Se on Vapaasti Käytettävissänne. ENDU
    ENDURON LAJIESITTELY 13.3.2012 Tämä lajiesittely on lyhyt tiivistelmä endurosta ja se on vapaasti käytettävissänne. ENDURO Endurossa on paljon yhtäläisyyksiä ralliin. Endurokilpailun tarkoituksena on testata ajajien ja pyörien kykyä selviytyä määritellystä reitistä annetun aikataulun puitteissa sekä nopeutta erillisillä maastokokeilla. Kuljettajat lähtevät maastokokeille yksitellen. Kuljettajien tulokset ilmoitetaan sadasosasekuntien tarkkuudella. Kuljettajan nopeus ja varmuus maastokokeilla ratkaisee menestyksen. Kilpailureittiin kuuluu usein siirtymiä yleisessä liikenteessä. Siirtymiltä voi saada virhepisteitä ennakossa tai myöhässä aikatarkastusasemalle saapumisesta, liikennesääntöjen rikkomisesta tai pyörän puutteellisesta kunnosta. Virhepisteet muutetaan sekunneiksi, jotka lisätään tuloksen ratkaisevaan kuljettajan kokonaisaikaan. SUOMI ON MAAILMAN MENESTYNEIN ENDUROMAA Suomi on menestyksellä mitaten maailman johtava enduromaa. Juha Salminen on kaikkien aikojen menestynein endurokuljettaja. Kaudella 2011 suomalaiset ottivat kolmoisvoiton luokassa E1. Jo edesmennyt Mika Ahola voitti viidennen peräkkäisen MM-kullan, viimeiseksi jääneen mestaruutensa hän ajoi E3-luokassa. Mika Ahola kuoli 15.1.2012 barcelonalaisessa sairaalassa ajoharjoituksissa kaatumisesta seuranneen sisäelinvamman ja leikkauksen jälkeisiin komplikaatioihin. MM-tulostaulukot täällä: http://www.fim-live.com/en/sport/enduro/world-champions/enduro-i/ Moottoripyörälajeissa on syytä huomioida se, että kuljettajat vaihtavat luokkaa ja/tai pyörämerkkiä usein jopa kausittain.

  • Johnny Aubert, Champion Du Monde D'enduro
    LETTRE HEBDOMADAIRE DE RESULTATS N° 33 - 13 OCTOBRE 2008 Johnny Aubert, champion du Monde d'Enduro Championnat du Monde d'Enduro On ne présente plus Mende et le Moto-club Lozérien organisateur du célébrissime Trèfle du même nom mais une chose est certaine, David Marquiran et son équipe n'ont pas failli, réussissant le pari de reprendre en main, à trois mois de la date fatidique, le Grand Prix AMV d'Europe, épreuve finale du Championnat du Monde d'Enduro initialement prévue sur le site du Pôle Mécanique d'Alès. Sacré dès le premier jour en E1, le finlandais Mika Ahola, violemment malmené par un Ivan Cervantès incisif et un excellent Marc Germain, second, s'imposera à nouveau le dimanche, bataillant avec Cervantès pour le plus grand plaisir du public mendois, Marc Germain terminant cette fois derrière les deux pilotes. La messe était pratiquement dite pour Johnny Aubert en E2 (quoique) et en terminant second et troisième de Salminen, il remporte, à 28 ans, le titre mondial, Rodrig Thain et Antoine Meo terminant 4 et 5 au classement final de la classe, séparés par quatre petits points... En Enduro 3, cinquième titre consécutif pour Samuli Aro, pourtant peu épargné par les blessures cette saison. Déception, par contre, pour Sébastien Guillaume, second à 14 points de Aro après la manche italienne, qui termine sixième de l'épreuve et rétrograde à la troisième place, précédant Christophe Nambotin d'un petit point... A noter la superbe prestation d'une ancien crossman dans la même classe, Antoine Letellier qui finit quatrième le premier jour (derrière Fabien Planet) et second le deuxième derrière Merriman ! Chez les Juniors, victoire de Jérémy Joly qui remporte son premier succès à si haut niveau.

  • JUHA SALMINEN, MIKA AHOLA, IVAN CERVANTES and JOAKIM LJUNGGREN WORLD CHAMPIONS! This Saturday Will Enter Forever in the History
    JUHA SALMINEN, MIKA AHOLA, IVAN CERVANTES AND JOAKIM LJUNGGREN WORLD CHAMPIONS! This Saturday will enter forever in the History of world enduro as the day of the quadruple crowning of Juha Salminen, Mika Ahola, Ivan Cervantes and Joakim Ljunggren in their categories. This first day of the GRAND PRIX AMV OF FRANCE was also marked by the hegemony of French riders with the successes of Marc Germain, Johnny Aubert and Sébastien Guillaume in front of their home crowd. ENDURO 1 By letting his adversaries fighting for the victory and finishing third, Juha SALMINEN (FIN- KTM) ensured enough points to win the word title in ENDURO 1. This 7th crown made of him the Greatest Rider Of All Time in Enduro. Juha SALMINEN: “After 2 years in the USA I!m back in Europe and I!m first. Of course it!s great. In the beginning of the year I thought it would be boring a little, it looked likes it was easy, but I did not plan I would be injured. I was lucky this year, this injury came to the complete right time, I had 5 weeks to recover.
