At the Italian GP of the World Enduro Championship, METZELER gains its first 2019 World Title with Andrea Verona; Daniel McCanney and Alex Salvini win the two days of the EnduroGP

The METZELER riders were the undisputed leaders in the GP that took place in Rovetta, Italy. Steve Holcombe, Alex Salvini, Danny McCanney, Lois Larrieu and Andrea Verona all took the highest place on the podium

Rovetta(Italy), 24 June 2019 - The Italian GP took place in Rovetta, in the legendary area of the Bergamo Valleys. The fifth round of the FIM Enduro World Championship was organised by the famous Motoclub Bergamo and there were four special trials, each fought out over three laps. The riders competed on mixed terrains: mud, streams, stones, rocks, and woodland, the classic mix for the Bergamo area.
 
In the EnduroGP, Danny McCanney (TM Racing Factory Team) and Alex Salvini (S2 Motosport Honda RedMoto Sembenini Team) performed excellently, respectively winning Day 1 and Day 2. The reigning champion Steve Holcombe (Team Beta Factory Enduro), not at his best due to a number of physical problems, gritted his teeth and regained a number of points from the leader. The official Beta and METZELER rider won an extraordinary second and fourth place.
 
It was an incredible weekend for the host riders Thomas Oldrati (Team Honda RedMoto), who -competing with METZELER MCE 6 DAYS EXTREME tyres, - picked up a second place on Day 1 and an excellent first place on Day 2 in the E1 Class.
 
Three victories on Day 1 for the official METZELER riders. Loic Larrieu (TM Racing Factory Team) won the E2 Class, Christophe Charlier (Team Honda RedMoto) won second place, and Benjamin Herrera (Team Beta Factory Enduro)gained his second podium of the season. On Day 2 it was the turn of Alex Salvini (S2 Motorsport Honda RedMoto Sembenini Team), who won and has been dominant since the first special, while the second place went to the TM rider Loic Larrieu.
 
Once again the METZELER supported riders Steve Holcombe and Danny McCanney dominated the E3 Class. The two English riders shared the daily victories and are competing for the final title.
 
METZELER is celebrating the first seasonal title with Andrea Verona (TM Racing Factory Team) in the Junior class. The official rider won the title in the race on home ground, two races early.
 
The FIM Enduro World Championship will be taking a long break, recommencing on 14 and 15 September for the Czech Republic GP.
