04/12/2011

Delivering victory to the Husqvarna CH Racing Monster Energy Team on day one, Salminen was his usual cool, calm, and collected self, while many riders made costly mistakes on the challenging extreme test. For Meo the opening day ended with the E2 series leader finishing off the podium, having failed to gel with the rough Portuguese terrain. Bouncing back on day two the 2010 Enduro 1 World Champion claimed a hard-fought runner-up result.

Although consistent throughout both days of competition Simone Albergoni endured a tough weekend, placing sixth on both days. For the Husqvarna CH Racing Monster Energy Team's Enduro 3 class riders Seb Guillaume and Alex Salvini, the GP of Portugal ended with both riders failing to finish one of the two days. With Guillaume placing a strong fourth on day one it was Salvini who was first to retire following a big crash on the enduro test. Thankfully not seriously injured the Italian was unable to continue but battled to a seventh place finish on day two. Day two ended shortly after it had begun to Guillaume as he also crashed on the enduro test and was forced to retire after aggravating his shoulder. Seb now sits sixth in the Enduro 3 championship standings.
