\nSpain\u2019s Laia SANZ (Honda) <\/strong>is crowned the final enduro world champion of the year as the 2013 Maxxis Enduro World Championship<\/strong> draws to a close in\u00a0St Flour<\/strong>, France. Ending her day second overall in the Women\u2019s Cup,\u00a0SANZ<\/strong> successfully defended her world title.\u00a0 \u201cTo win two enduro world titles is an amazing feeling,\u201d <\/em>admitted\u00a0SANZ<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s been an eventful season. Missing one day of the championship and then suffering some problems yesterday has made things tough. But I\u2019m glad I could win the title. It\u2019s been a brilliant end to the year for me.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

After the weather disruption of day one, day two in\u00a0St Flour<\/strong> saw a revised race schedule. Working hard overnight, event organisers rerouted many parts of the course to allow racing to continue. Using just the Cross Test and one liaison section that would be ridden four times, the competitors of the EWC enjoyed an unusually easier end to their 2013 season.<\/p>\n

Determined to make amends for his disappointing end to day one, France\u2019s Jeremy TARROUX (Sherco) <\/strong>claimed the\u00a0Enduro 1<\/strong> class victory on day two. Holding off Finland\u2019s\u00a0Eero REMES (TM) <\/strong>by just two tenths of a second, the Frenchman secured the win. \u201cI was disappointed with how day one turned out,<\/em>\u201d explained\u00a0TARROUX<\/strong>. \u201cI led most of the day but two mistakes cost me a chance of victory. Today I felt like I had a point to prove. I\u2019m so happy to get the win.<\/em>\u201d Despite winning two of the day\u2019s four special tests, it was a costly mistake on the second test that ultimately cost\u00a0REMES <\/strong>his chance of victory. Ending his year on a high, France\u2019s\u00a0Marc BOURGEOIS (Yamaha)<\/strong> beat\u00a0Antoine MEO (F – KTM) <\/strong>by five tenths of a second to finish third. Ending his day just over two seconds shy of victory,MEO <\/strong>was unable to claim a double win in France and had to settle for fourth. Sherco\u2019s\u00a0Anthony BOISSIERE (F)<\/strong> completed the top five.<\/p>\n

Ensuring a perfect end to a perfect season, Italy\u2019s\u00a0Alex SALVINI (Honda) <\/strong>took the final\u00a0Enduro 2<\/strong>class win. Placing second to France\u2019s Johnny AUBERT (KTM)<\/strong> during the first two laps, the newly crowned champion upped his pace to overhaul his French rival and claim the win. \u201cIt\u2019s been a perfect end to a perfect season,<\/em>\u201d told\u00a0SALVINI<\/strong>. \u201cEntering France my focus was on the title but to end the weekend with two victories is more that I could have asked for. Today I felt relaxed and rode without mistakes.<\/em>\u201d Relishing in the drying conditions,\u00a0AUBERT <\/strong>set the pace during the opening two laps. But with\u00a0SALVINI <\/strong>upping his speed, the KTM rider was unable to respond to the attack and slipped back to second. With the third fastest time on all four special tests, France\u2019s Pela RENET (Husaberg) <\/strong>secured the final step of the podium with third. Capping off his year with the best result of his season, Manxman\u00a0David KNIGHT (Honda)<\/strong> placed fourth with Spain\u2019s\u00a0Ivan CERVANTES (KTM) <\/strong>rounding out the top five.<\/p>\n

Recording his debut Senior class win France\u2019s\u00a0Mathias BELLINO (Husaberg) <\/strong>emerged as a new winner of the\u00a0Enduro 3 <\/strong>class. With early leader\u00a0Christophe NAMBOTIN (F – KTM) <\/strong>crashing out of the race on the third Cross Test,\u00a0BELLINO<\/strong> quickly took control of the lead to secure his first E3 win.\u00a0 \u201cI was frustrated with how day one ended,<\/em>\u201d confirmed\u00a0BELLINO<\/strong>. \u201cI was riding great but then when it started to rain I made a lot of mistakes and it all ended badly. Today I rode well. After my injuries during the beginning of the season I\u2019m so happy to reward my team\u2019s faith in me with a victory \u2013 it\u2019s a fantastic result.<\/em>\u201d Fairing better in the drying conditions, Estonia\u2019s\u00a0Aigar LEOK (TM) <\/strong>greatly improved on his day one result of seventh to finish as runner-up to\u00a0BELLINO<\/strong>. Setting the fastest time on the third special test, Portugal\u2019s Luis CORREIA (Beta)<\/strong> was third. Sweden\u2019s\u00a0Joakim LJUNGGREN (Husaberg) <\/strong>just missed out on a podium result and ended his day in fourth with France\u2019s\u00a0Fabien PLANET (Sherco) <\/strong>rounding out the top five.
\nEarning his second win of the season, France\u2019s Loic LARRIEU (Husaberg)<\/strong> topped the\u00a0Enduro Junior <\/strong>category. Benefitting from a one-minute penalty by Australia\u2019s\u00a0Matt PHILLIPS (Husqvarna)<\/strong>,LARRIEU <\/strong>took a surprising win. Immediately establishing himself as a frontrunner for the 2014 season, current 125 Youth Cup world champion\u00a0Jamie MCCANNEY (Husaberg)<\/strong> placed as runner-up to\u00a0LARRIEU<\/strong>. Joining his brother on the podium, day one winner,\u00a0Danny MCCANNEY (Gas Gas)<\/strong>was third. Delivering an impressive result, Italy\u2019s\u00a0Gianluca MARTINI (Beta) <\/strong>was fourth. Incurring a time penalty,\u00a0PHILLIPS <\/strong>dropped back to fifth. Securing victory in the highly competitive Enduro Youth Cup class, France\u2019s\u00a0Jeremy MIROIR (Yamaha)<\/strong> delivered a home win. Italy\u2019s\u00a0Michele MARCHELLI (Husaberg)<\/strong> chased\u00a0MIRIOR<\/strong> home for second position while France\u2019s\u00a0Mika BARNES (KTM)<\/strong> ended his day in third.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0Women\u2019s Cup<\/strong> it was Britain\u2019s\u00a0Jane DANIELS (Husaberg) <\/strong>that took her second win of the weekend. Beating rival\u00a0Laia SANZ (Honda) <\/strong>by almost 50 seconds on the opening test, the young Brit ended day two in St Flour on the top step of the podium. Unable to match the pace set byDANIELS<\/strong>,\u00a0SANZ <\/strong>settled for the runner-up result and with it was crowned the 2013 Women\u2019s Enduro World Champion. France\u2019s\u00a0Juliette BERREZ (Yamaha)<\/strong> completed the top three.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
