The former leader, Brad Freeman, could not start after surgery to his shoulder.Third position of the day for Junior Andreas Linusson from Sweden, who felt at his ease in the sand.

The city of Örebro, Sweden, hosted the fourth and last round of the European Extreme Enduro, which scored around 5.000 spectators in two days. After yesterday’s prolog Joakim Ljunggren and Wade Young started first. They had a good battle for 2 laps and a half, then Young passed Ljunggren and Jarvis started upcoming from behind. When Jarvis passed Young he just continued his own race and had a good lead before Young, who had some mechanical problems. Eddie Karlsson, who normally races in the X-Trial World Championship, took part to the race to see what extreme enduro is. Graham Jarvis (in the photo) won in front of Wade Young and Lars Enöckl. After four rounds, the 2016 European Extreme Enduro Cup was won by Xavier Leon Sole in front of Alfredo Gomes Cantero and Anders Becker Johansen.

Emil Weckman, 2015 Champion and current red plate holder, took the race one victory in the deep sand of Lommel today in dominant style. Weckman initially powered into the lead aboard his CRF150R, taking the holeshot, before Estonia’s Henry Vesilind got the better of the Finn in the early stages of the race. However, it didn’t take the defending champion long to find his rhythm and regain the lead. The pair then opened a sizeable gap to the rest of the field, before a mistake by Vesilind resulted in a crash and dropped him to sixth. Unfortunately, the Estonian was unable to make any places up but maintained his sixth place at the chequered flag. A stunning ride from both Andrea Adamo (ITA) and Luis Outeiro (POR) saw the pair battling hard throughout the second half of the moto for second place. Although Outeiro looked to be holding off the
