Antoine Meo led the way on day one at round six of the 2015 Maxxis FIM Enduro World Championship in St Hubert, Belgium.

The opening day of competition at the GP Belgium was one to saviour for championship leaders Eero Remes (TM), Meo (KTM) and Mathias Bellino (Husqvarna) as they all claimed wins in their respective classes.

Delivering the goods in terms of action and drama, the first ever day of EWC competition in Belgium had plenty of spills and thrills as the Belgian countryside put competitors through their paces.

The biggest development of the day was the early departure of Enduro 2 championship contender Pela Renet. The Husqvarna rider crashed heavily on the opening enduro test and injured his shoulder.

Heading the Enduro 3 class, Husqvarna’s Bellino returned to the top step of the podium having missed out at the previous GP of Italy. He won ahead of Sherco’s Matti Seistola and Australia’s reigning world champion Matthew Phillips (KTM).

Picking up his sixth win of the season, TM Racing’s Remes was almost unstoppable in the Enduro 1 class, heading KTM’s Christophe Nambotin and and Husqvarna’s Danny McCanney.

In the Enduro 2 class, Meo claimed a commanding victory. Facing an early challenge from Renet, the Frenchman was handed a slight relief when the latter crashed out of the event on the opening enduro test.

With Meo out front, Honda’s Alex Salvini placed a distant runner-up and, securing his first ever senior podium, Sherco’s Loic Larrieu finished in third.
