The sun shone again on Santa Marta de Penaguiao the 2023 Borilli Enduro European Championship Round #2 Day 2. The Eleveit day 2 saw the riders again face each other within the three special tests designed for the event; the 24MX Extreme Test and the Airoh Cross Test remained unchanged while the Eleveit Enduro Test underwent changes to ensure riders’ safety. Ruts, roots and stones gave the riders a hard time, they had to adapt their riding style to the new set-up of the tests.
