2023 Airoh Minienduro European Trophy turned its engine on! A hot and intense day 1 kicked off and saw 86 young riders leaving the Park Fermè to try their hand at the five race laps. Two special tests and a challenging transfer create a first edition up to the internationality of the event. The Airoh Cross Test had the burden of kicking off the day, inside an old quarry, its stones welcomed the riders while after a short tricky transfer, it was time for the Eleveit Enduro Test to be done; along the refreshing river, its roots closed the day.
Under the name of Airoh, ten different European nations enlived this hot Saturday; at 9 o’clock the first three riders left the paddock and gave life to a collective and beautiful applause from all the public which came to see the race. The battle began from the very first test with the riders of the 125 class who took the lead of the overall standings; in the first three laps Pierpaolo Mosca took home the best times, winning all six the tests but Tommaso Roccato did not let himself be detached. With a delay of only 8 seconds Tommaso stayed close to his compatriot.
As the tests passed, Mosca slowed down while Roccato kept pushing and took the first overall position, thus winning the day. Pierpaolo Mosca therefore finished in second position ahead of Léo Lavesvre; the French rider was the protagonist of a slow start of the day but then he managed to finish third overall just one second behind the runner-up. The podium of the 125 Mini was the same as the overall standings so Tommaso Roccato also won his class, Pierpaolo Mosca finished second while Léo Lavesvre third.
In the 50 Mini Cristian Garzotto put his Vent 50 on fire and took the victory of the day after collecting first positions on top positions; second place for Massimo De Monte and his Suzuki Valenti, while Mirco Zordan closed the podium on his Fantic. In the Junior Class the Italian, Gioele Scibilia won with about a minute over the runner-up Nicolò Baccinelli (Italy) and the third Wiggo Lifvendahl (Sweden). If Gioele’s victory was overwhelming, the gap between Nicolò and Wiggo was almost zero, only a few cents divided the two young riders on an 85cc. The two Italian girls, Roberta Gallina and Athena Magliolo battled for the final victory of the Women Class; special test after special test they showed to be fast enough to take the first place. At the end of the tenth and last special test, it was Roberta who had the best time, consequently she was the winner while Athena finished second. Third position for the valiant Charlène Boudon, who on this day did not keep the pace of her colleagues, however tomorrow we start again reopening the games.

Grigno gave us another beautiful sunny day at the Airoh Minienduro European Trophy, which saw its second day finishing successfully. Five laps were prepared by the Motoclub Civezzano, as two were the special tests faced by the more than 80 starting riders. Once again the Airoh Cross Test kicked the day off, and if its track remained the same, its soil dug considerably, becoming even more complex. The Eleveit Enduro Test was not outdone; stones, roots and ruts were the protagonists of this test and had the honour of crowning the winners of the second day of the race.
The battle for the overall saw France and Spain contending for final success; Léo Lavesvre and Pol Guerrero exchanged positions several times. If in the first instance it was the Spaniard who collected the best times, the Frenchman was then able to answer. As it came to the end of the day, Léo was able to detach the rival and crossed the finish line with 8 seconds of advantage. The day 1 overall winner, Tommaso Roccato, tried to keep up with his colleagues, however he remained slightly delayed, finishing third in the overall. As in Day 1, also today the overall ranking reflected that of the 125 class, consequently Léo Lavesvre, Pol Guerrero and Tommaso Roccato were the first, second and third best riders. Slightly more backward today the runner-up of yesterday’s Pierpaolo Mosca.
In the 50 Mini class, the placements of the previous day were confirmed: Massimo De Monte triumphed again over his rivals, Cristian Garzotto finished second while Mirko Zordan closed the podium of the day. Second success in a row for Gioele Scibilia, the Italian rider confirmed his talent and speed by gaining the first step of the podium one more time. Wiggo Lifvendahl improved his results; the Swedish driver managed to make his own the second position within the Junior class by binding Davide Cabass in third place. Davide put on a better performance by managing to get on the podium of the day. Charlène Boudon juggled perfectly with the ruts of special tests, obtaining the victory of the Women class; after Day 1’s third place the French rider managed to be faster than Athena Magliolo and Maja Kozlowska. If the Italian repeated the result of the first day, the Polish rider conquered a beautiful podium.
With the end of the second and last day of the Airoh Minienduro European Trophy, the time to crown the winners has also come. The Overall victory was the prerogative of the Frenchman Léo Lavesvre, who managed to impose himself on the other riders; the two Italians Tommaso Roccato and Pierpaolo Mosca finished second and third overall. In the 125 class, thanks to a third position and a victory, Léo Lavesvre won the Airoh Minienduro European Trophy 125 class; second position for Tommaso Roccato while Pierpaolo Mosca closed the podium. In the 50 Mini the rider who collected the most points was Cristian Garzotto; the young italian got the class victory. Massimo De Monte with two second places won the silver medal while the bronze was won by Mirco Zordan. Victory on full score for Gioele, who won in the Junior class. Day 2 second place allowed the Swedish, Wiggo Lifvendahl, to get silver while Nicolò Baccinelli closed the trophy podium. In the Women class it was the Frenchman Charlène Boudon who excelled while Athena Magliolo is the former champion 2023. The women’s bronze was instead obtained by the winner of day 1 Roberta Gallina.
