Additionally, Etchells triumphed on Day One in the Junior category, while Cristino secured another impressive one-two win in the Youth class.

Lalin (Spain), May , 2023 -The second round of the FIM EnduroGP World Championship 2023 took place in Lain, Spain, over a month after the opening round held in Italy. The riders faced a challenging test as they had to navigate through three highly technical and difficult special tests that were repeated three times each day, resulting in a total of eighteen specials throughout the race weekend.

The Spanish GP’s race course, expertly crafted by the Motoclub Movete na Moto, featured a challenging 1 km Extreme Test situated in Lalin’s heart. This section boasted a combination of earth and sand terrain, with the added difficulty of slippery rocks. Additionally, there were two other tests located just a brief distance from each other and 15 minutes away from the paddock. The Cross Test was high-speed and had mixed terrain of grass, dirt, and sand. The Enduro Test was situated within a forest and had soft, sandy terrain that was complicated by numerous roots along the path.
