In the very last special stage, Belgian youngster Erik Willems took the overall victory of the first day of riding at the opening round of the Borilli European Enduro Championship at MOTOCROSS MARKETING ROUND 1#, in Pietramontecorvino, Italy.
Italian Enrico Rinaldi had been leading until the end: but the reigning European Junior Champion admitted that he was not fast enough in the cross test. His competitors, the Belgian Erik Willems and the Briton Dan Mundell, saw it the other way round. Above all, Mundel struggled in the over 10-minute long Eleveit Enduro test with slower riders in front of him: “I have such a late start time, so I had to overtake four to five riders each time, which of course cost a little time each time.”
That added up in the end, leaving Mundel in a close position behind the two rivals. But all three riders were separated by just SEVEN seconds throughout the day and in the end, it was less than a single second.
