06/20/2011

Enduro 1 and Enduro 2 series leaders Juha Salminen riding the TE250 and Antoine Meo on the TE310 again claim double class wins to extend their world championship advantages. Matti Seistola riding the TE250 again placed as runner-up to team-mate Salminen in the Enduro 1 class on day two after a third place finish on day one while Simone Albergoni secured his first podium result of the season with a third place Enduro 2 class finish on day one.

With Salminen comfortably leading the Enduro 1 World Championship on 239 points, Seistola moves into second on 198, tied with countryman Remes. Husqvarna TE250 won so far 9 of the 10 GP days.

Antoine Meo on his TE310 secured his fifth and sixth Enduro 2 class wins of the '11 EWC season. Antoine went on to claim a 22-second winning advantage on day one after winning all three special tests on the final lap. Joining Meo on the podium was his E2 class team-mate Simone Albergoni for the first time this season.

With five rounds completed Antoine has 232 points at the top of the Enduro 2 class while his closest rival Guerrero has 183. Simone Albergoni currently sits fifth on 140.

In the E3 class, Alex Salvini continues to improve on his TE511, as his confidence grows. Eventually finishing in a creditable fifth too many mistakes on the extreme test prevented Alex finishing on the podium. Husqvarna's Seb Guillaume didn't have the best of events as a crash during the first day, which left him severely de-tuned. Placing seventh Seb started day two but was forced to retire after just two special tests. Matching his day one result Salvini again placed fifth on his Husqvarna TE511.
