The seventh and last round of the Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship roared into life with the Akrapovic Super Test in Rhayader, Wales.
TM MOTO Boano Factory Enduro Team’s Zach Pichon put in a definitive trip to top the time sheets on Friday night in Rhayader, while Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Josep Garcia positioned as runner-up to protect the general series win.
With big crowds collecting in Rhayader for the much awaited Forsiteservices GP of Wales, they were dealt with to some amazing racing for Friday’s Akrapovic Super Test. A first-rate line up, including the very best enduro riders, kept them captivated from start to end up.
As the EnduroGP class riders started to line up for their timed run, attention turned to Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt to see where he would put. The five-time SuperEnduro World Champion, making a wildcard look in EnduroGP, measured up to his track record and appropriately put himself at the top of the time sheets.
It was Pichon who improved the criteria set by Bolt, beating him by an extremely excellent 0.96 seconds. And with the Red Bull KTM Factory pairing of Josep Garcia and Andrea delegated run, just Garcia might get near to Pichon.
Knocking Bolt back to 3rd, Garcia completed 0.42 seconds adrift of Pichon as runner-up. 2nd on the night would be more than enough for him to end 2026 as the Akrapovic Super Test Series Winner.
