The sun shone in Paikuse for the first day of the Airoh Round #3 of the 2023 Borilli Enduro European Championship. On time at 10 a.m. the Youth class’ Riders officially kicked off the first day of the race, consisting of 3 laps with a length of 64 km and 3 special tests. The first to be faced was the Airoh Cross Test, followed by the Eleveit Enduro Test and finally the 24MX Extreme Test. If the Eleveit Enduro Test and the 24MX Extreme Test shared a sandy solid, the Airoh Cross Test took place inside a fast turf lawn.
With the Start of the first rider, the fight for the Overall first position began; Eemil Pohjola read perfectly all the test and took the lead with a fair margin. Alex Walton skilfully defended himself from the attacks of Diego Haution and Lucas Bergstrom, intent on taking his second position. At the end of the ninth special test the Overall silver was still in the hands of Alex Walton while Diego Haution grabbed the bronze and pushed Bergstrom off the podium.
