Decision on the very last day
It was not until Saturday, 2 October 2021, at the final of the European Enduro Championship in Hellendoor, the Netherlands, that the title of best rider in all classes was decided:
Krystof Kouble from the Czech Republic competed: the Sherco rider had started the day eight championship points behind and still finished the season as the new champion! “I felt comfortable from the start and didn’t make any mistakes,” the junior was pleased afterwards. In fact, he had not won a single special stage by the halfway point, but was already leading by a clear margin because the competitors behind him were making life difficult for each other. Especially his biggest competitor, the Italian Enrico Rinaldi, did not manage well at all: “After the overnight rain, the track was very slippery and I didn’t want to take to much risks.” Towards the end of the day things went a little better again, but the wrong lane choice in the last extreme test then cost him almost half a minute and threw him back to sixth place in the overall standings. This ate up his points lead and Kouble was crowned the new champion.

EK/ONK Hellendoorn: even terugkijken
Ook op de mooi droge zaterdag liep de wedstrijd als een trein. Fijne heel verschillende proeven, pittig maar niet te zwaar en alles onder controle. Kortom, hulde aan de hele grote groep vrijwilligers van de MCNH en daarbuiten. Dit zijn niet mijn woorden maar dat zeiden meerdere Nederlandse en buitenlandse rijders en begeleiders tegen mij.
En toen moest de prijsuitreiking nog beginnen. Lekker vlot en informeel met uiteraard een zeer gezellige nazit. Derde of vierde manche ofzo. Daar zijn even geen foto’s van maar het was wel zwaar.

FIM Europe: Enduro 2021 – Hellendoorn / Netherland – First Champions are crowned
On Friday, 1 October 2021, at the final of the European Enduro Championship in Hellendoor, the Netherlands, the first champions were already determined on the first day of riding: The three riders Pyry Juupaluoma from Finland, Thiebaut Passet from France and Jaromir Romancik from the Czech Republic have so much lead in their displacement classes that it is impossible to catch them even on the last day of competition.
In fact, the finale of the European Championship already started on Thursday evening with a prologue on the deep sand motocross track of the organising Motorclub Nijverdal Hellendoorn (MCNH): Krystof Kouble, who is still fighting for the title in the junior class and in the overall ranking, won there.

FIM Europe: Enduro 2021 – Hellendoorn / Netherland – final with prologue and closing ceremony
Next weekend, on 30 October and 1 and 2 October, the final of the European Enduro Championship will take place in Hellendoorn, Netherland. The organising Motor Club Nijverdal Hellendoorn (MCNH) will hold a prologue for the first time on Thursday from 4.30 p.m. and after the two long riding days on Friday and Saturday there will be the award ceremony.
There will be three laps a day on the 80 km long course, which is practically in the format of a big 8. This means that the paddock is also the service point twice per lap, which makes logistics much easier for the teams.
The course includes four different special tests

Youth ahead
In the end, three juniors stood on top of the podium at the overall winner’s ceremony: Enrico Rinaldi ahead of Krystof Kouble and the Finn Peetu Juupaluoma.
Surprisingly, Krystof Kouble had to take a back seat this time: The Czech rider had come to Poland as the leader of the championship, where conditions were similar to the last round in the Czech Republic with mud and rain. In fact, however, the Italian Enrico Rinaldi won the overall standings on both days, first catching up with Kouble and then even just overtaking him in the championship.
