Hot weather and exceptionally close racing brought the GP AMV Seguros of Spain to an exciting close on day two in Jerez. Across all classes the second day of racing at round two of the Maxxis FIM Enduro World Championship was incredibly competitive.

In the Enduro 3 class Mathias Bellino (Husqvarna) secured a one-second margin of victory, KTM’s Antoine Meo was again the winner in Enduro 2 and Christophe Nambotin (KTM) was unstoppable in Enduro 1. Taking a commanding victory, Laia Sanz (KTM) was the clear winner in the Women’s Cup.

Once again there was no stopping KTM’s Nambotin in Enduro 1. At home in the hot, dry and dusty conditions, the Frenchman delivered a carbon copy result of his previous day’s ride. Winning all special tests, Nambotin was also unofficially the fastest outright rider.

While Nambotin cleared off to win, Eero Remes (TM) was again second. Delivering another podium result on home soil, Yamaha’s Cristobal Guerrero has put himself firmly back in the championship fight following a difficult opening round in Chile.

On day two there was no change at the head of the Enduro 2 class. Claiming his fourth win of the season, KTM’s Meo continues to establish himself as the rider to beat. Delivering his best result of the 2015 series to date, Alex Salvini (Honda) chased Meo home for second, with Pela Renet (Husqvarna) third.

As Enduro 3 continues to prove itself as one of the most competitive classes of the championship, Husqvarna’s Bellino is showing himself as the main rider to beat. Fighting his way from fourth into the lead, Bellino managed to hold off a late charge from Sherco’s Matti Seistola to take a small margin of victory.

With the top six riders separated by just 17 seconds, Seistola was next to Bellino, while Spain’s Jonathan Barragan delivered Gas Gas a home GP podium result in third. Only one second behind Barragan, Italy’s Manuel Monni (TM) was fourth and Australia’s Matt Phillips (KTM) rounded out the top five.

In the Women’s Cup it was another win for Spain’s Laia Sanz, This time the KTM rider extended her advantage to almost two minutes. Australia’s Jessica Gardiner (Sherco) followed Sanz home for the runner-up, with Jane Daniels (Husqvarna) seven seconds behind in third. Jemma Wilson (Yamaha) and France’s Blandine Dufrene (KTM) completed the top five.
