Yamaha Racing aiming to end Enduro World Championship on a high
By Team TMX on 28th Sep 15
Fresh off an impressive set of results at the recent FIM International Six Days Enduro in Slovakia, Yamaha Racing's Cristobal Guerrero and Marc Bourgeois are ready to end their 2015 Enduro World Championship campaigns on a high in France this coming weekend.
Being held in the small, rural town of Requista, the GP of France marks the seventh and final round of this year's EWC series. And with spirits high among Yamaha Racing's supported riders, all are looking for top results in the highly competitive Enduro 1 category.
Currently fifth overall in the Enduro 1 standings, Yamaha France's Marc Bourgeois heads to his home round of the series eager to impress. Always ultra-competitive on traditional, grassy special tests that the French round of the EWC annually serves up, the Frenchman is keen to put his Yamaha WR250F back on the podium and secure his position of fifth overall in the championship standings.
Guerrero sits seventh behind Bourgeois in the championship classification. Hampered by niggling injuries and a number of issues during the events held to date, it's been a tough season for the Team Yamaha Miglio rider. Motivated by his third place Enduro 1 class result at the ISDE, Guerrero enters the closing round of the EWC determined to set things right and repeat the podium result he secured at round two in Spain.
Reaching the end of his rookie season of EWC competition, Guerrero's teammate Gianluca Martini currently sits eighth in Enduro 1. Consistently putting his WR250F inside the top ten, the young Italian has impressed with his ability to deal with the changing terrain of the championship.
The final round of the Enduro World Championship takes place in Requista, France on October 2-4.
