Fantic also protagonist in the penultimate round in Portugal with Etchells, Norrbin and Cristino


The FIM EnduroGP World Championship 2023 restarted after the summer break. On a typical summer weekend, with temperatures above 30°, this weekend, the #fanticracing riders took on 
the eagerly awaited GP of Portugal in Valpaços, the sixth and penultimate round of the season.

The race course, designed by the Motoclub "Usprigozus Clube TT de Vilarandelo" in collaboration with Track Inspector Maurizio Micheluz, included a natural Extreme Test of 1.7 km, very technical and characterized by challenging passages with the typical Portuguese rocks, an #enduro Test of 5.6 km, technical and not very fast on mostly hard and friable ground. In closing, a 4.6-kilometre Cross Test on the Valpaços Motocross track.

On Portuguese soil, #albinnorrbin (Fantic #racing team) and #jedetchells (JET #fanticracing team) battled to the last breath and the last special test in the Junior class. They were the absolute protagonists: Jed won on Saturday with a one-second lead over Albin, who dominated on Sunday, 
winning seven of the eleven tests with a twenty-seven-second lead over the British champion, thanks to excellent times. 

At the end of the Portuguese GP, Etchells leads the provisional Junior standings with 210 points, 
followed by Norrbin with 200.
The 2022 Youth World Champion, Harry Edmondson (JET #fantic Racing), finished eighth and seventh in the Junior 1 class over the two days and tenth in the Junior class on Sunday.
