The 4th round of the Enduro GP closed out the Scandinavian tour.

This past weekend the 4th round of the FIM Paulo Duarte EnduroGP World Championship was held in Skövde, #sweden which closed out the Scandinavian portion of the tour.

The course was very dry, with lots of sand, there were 10 specials which for the most part were in the woods. The track deteriorated quickly which made the test very physical. It took the riders 90 minutes to complete a lap every day.

The Super Test kicked off the Swedish GP on Thursday, a day earlier than usual.

In the E1 category, #zachpichon demonstrated his potential and proved that he is indeed one of the best riders in the world by climbing to the 2nd step of the podium twice!

"Another good weekend with a big fight on the first day of #racing which started on Friday, I finished second. I also had a good start on Saturday, but a lack of physical training got the better of me, I was hoping to do better. It was a positive weekend for me, I am gradually finding my best level despite a significant lack of training after Lalin. It's progressing, we're continuing on this good momentum."

In the E3 category, Morgan Lesiardo performed well and surprised many of his competitors. He was very comfortable in the cross-country specials; he was able to do well and finished 2nd on Friday and 3rd on Saturday.

"My weekend went well, with 2 podiums in E3 and a good top 10 finish for Saturday. It was a long and physically challenging event. I enjoyed the race from the start with a good feeling from the super test. It's a big step forward for me, I was able to show what I could do over the two days by riding hard throughout the weekend. I'm super happy with my feelings on the bike, happy with the work of the team!"

In Junior 1, Jeremy Sydow finished 2nd on Friday and 3rd on Saturday.

"The weekend was quite difficult physically. On Friday, I was fighting for the victory in the J1 category until the last stage. I finished P2 in J1 and P4 overall.
On Saturday, I managed to set good times on some stages, but I wasn't consistent enough. In the end, I still finished 3rd in J1 and sixth overall. I will give everything I have until the next race to recover those points I lost."

In the E3 category, we also find Antoine Magain and Julien Roussaly.
It was a physically difficult race for Antoine who lacked strength following a fall in Finland. He still finished in 4th place on Friday and finished 6th on Saturday.

Julien Roussalycontinues his apprenticeship in #enduro. He finished in 6th place on Friday and 7th on Saturday.

"On Friday I was fighting for a long time for the EnduroGP top 15 but a few errors and crashes at the end of the day made me lose touch.
Saturday was again physically challenging for me because of my injury, I lacked the endurance that I needed. I started badly but I come back at the end of the day to be 7th in E3.
This two-GP tour was very tough for me, but also very rewarding!"

In the E2 category, Hamish Macdonald took 4th place in the category and 6th in EnduroGP on Friday. On Saturday, he finished 5th in E2 and 8th overall.

"It was a difficult weekend for me, I enjoyed Friday with a radically changing track, we worked hard, and I managed to put in some good times. On Saturday I struggled from the start, I didn't feel like myself and it showed, I struggled to be in front with the track in poor condition and couldn't find a smooth rhythm to accommodate my style."

Wil Ruprecht finished in 9th place on Friday and 11th on Saturday in the E2 category.

Support rider Luca Fisheder finished 8th on Friday in the E3 category and moved up to 4th on Saturday.
