2023 Enduro European Championship: Double victory for Eemil Pohjola in Estonia

2023 Enduro European Championship video highlights and results from Paikuse in Estonia where Eemil Pohjola took a convincing double day victory ahead of David Abgrall who claims the championship points lead.

2023 Borilli Enduro European Championship round three headed to Paikuse in Estonia with a strong northern European contingent tackling two days of racing in dry and largely sandy conditions.

They were conditions which suited the “locals” with Eemil Pohjola dropping south across the Gulf of Finland to take a double day victory in relatively familiar conditions. Riders from across all senior classes faced three laps of three tests in Paikuse which Pohjola proved the master of, taking the lead from the very first special. The young Finn took a double victory, 29 seconds clear of British rider Alex Walton on day one and a minute clear of Frenchman David Abgrall on day two.

New points leader

Abgrall started the weekend slower but came on strong as the tests got harder to take P2 on day two ahead of Damiaens Dietger, who returned to the overall podium after a year absent. That result puts Abgrall as the new championship points leader’s pate holder heading to the final weekend of the series, round four in Kielce, Poland on September 16-17.
