European Enduro Championship: Dan Mundell 2024 Champion
The last round of the 24MX European Enduro Championship in Woltersdorf, Germany, sees TNT Squadre Corse KTM’s Dan Mundell crowned champion.
The finale to the 2024 European Enduro season was a cold but bright one in virtually the suburbs of Berlin in the East of Germany.
At the end of a long season a quality entry list from across Europe headed to Woltersdorf to wrap-up the championships on three laps of technical and tight tests begun at 08:00 and across two days.
The story of the weekend was British KTM rider Dan Mundell sealing the victory in both E2 class and the overall championship. The TNT Squadre Corse KTM team rider has regrouped in recent seasons and, despite a wrist injury late which has kept him off the bike for six weeks prior to this weekend, adds the 2024 European title to the British Enduro Championship crown already claimed last month.
Mundell finished both days in second place on the scratch podium behind Sherco Racing’s EnduroGP rider, Jeremy Sydow. The German followed suit with some of the EnduroGP elite in popping into the European series on home soil taking the win comfortably overall.
Crucially for Mundell in the points standings, his 2-2 scorecard for the weekend scratch put him ahead of main championship rivals David Soreca and Matej Skuta on both days and the title was nailed on.
Champions crowned
In the Youth class, the German round proved difficult for points leader Riccardo Pasquato. Riding with a hand injury, the Italian took two sixth places but it was enough for the 2024 European Youth Champion ahead of French rider Gabin Allemand.
In Junior 1 Pry Juupaluoma took the day wins but French rider Killian Lunier, despite a broken brake disc forcing retirement on the final day in Waltersdorf, takes the title following a convincing season including five wins.
In Junior2, the competition was tight until the last test between Diego Haution and Matej Skuta. At the end of the nine special tests, Skuta claimed victory on the day but Haution took the European Junior 2 title by just one point.
Settling for second overall, David Soreca is E1 champion for the season on the Kawasaki while Anthony Geslin has been the most successful rider all season with 100% record in E3 class for that championship title.
In a European season with many French victors, Mauricette Brisebard adds her name to eh record books with the Women’s class title for 2024 while Maurizio Micheluz claims yet another European championship in the seniors.
Motoclub Gaerne was crowned European Champion, the 2024 Nations Trophy was won by Italy, France took first place in the Youth/Junior category, Slovakia the Women’s category and Finland dominated the Senior.
