Britain's David Knight has blasted his way to the front of the Enduro 3 World Championship standings following two dominant class wins at the opening round of the Enduro World Championship series staged in Valverde del Camino, Spain.
One of the hardest ever season openers the GP of Spain ended with Knight the only rider to top a class on both days. In Enduro 1 Frenchmen Antoine Meo and Johnny Aubert claimed a day win each, while the battle for top honours in the Enduro 2 class saw Mika Ahola win on day one with home favourite Ivan Cervantes claiming victory on day two.
