Fifth round for the FIM EnduroGP World Championship this weekend back to Gelnica for the Slovakia Enduro GP. A competition that Honda Racing RedMoto Enduro Team faced with a “reduced” line-up, as Thomas Oldrati is still out due to an injury.
Fruitful weekend for Steve Holcombe. On hard ground and hot weather conditions, the British rider finished both days on the podium. On Saturday, he left no room for Garcia and at the end of a very tight day, he won E1 taking third place in the EnduroGP. On Sunday, however, a few mistakes made him finish second of his class and in the top five of the Overall.
Double P4 for Samuele Bernardini, in the fight against players of E2 class. He finished both days close to the podium, taking two EnduroGP top ten.
After his first world victory at the Italian GP after a perfect race, Manolo Morettini did not find the feeling to repeat the performance in Slovakia. He finished the weekend with two fifth positions in Junior1 and two top ten positions in Junior Overall.

“Good weekend for me. Day 1 was good: I finished third Overall gaining some points in the standing. On day 2 I struggled a little bit and unfortunately, I finished out of the top three Overall. Looking to my home race in two weeks”.
Samuele Bernardini #23
“Quite a positive weekend even though I struggled a bit. A few too many crashes on Saturday did not allow me to get on the podium. I tried again on Sunday, but I still finished fourth”.

“It was quite a complicated weekend. I gave my best, but I was hoping to do something more. Thank you to the team for the work did together. Let’s focus on the next GP in England”.
