Garcia wins enduro GP world championship

Garcia came into the seventh and final round of the championship in Brioude, France, holding a healthy 17-point advantage at the top of the EnduroGP standings. He would still have to deliver a strong performance however to secure the title.
After placing third on the Friday night Super Test, Josep went on to prove why he’s a worthy champion on Saturday by moving into the provisional lead after the first test and extending that advantage as the day progressed.

Crossing the line over 12 seconds ahead of closest rival and fellow SCOTT athlete Steve Holcombe, Garcia claimed his seventh victory of the season and secured his place in the history books. The world title is Josep’s fourth to date, but his first in the overall EnduroGP category.
With one day left to race in France, the pressure is not over for Josep – the 2024 Enduro1 title is still to be decided. Following his overall win today, the 27-year-old heads into Sunday holding a narrow nine-point advantage over Holcombe in the E1 category. The newly crowned champion will undoubtedly give his all once again in the fight to secure two world titles in as many days.

“This is a dream come true! I’ve been fighting for the EnduroGP win for the past two years, so this moment is just unforgettable. I’ve achieved my dream, and to do it on day one is even better.” Josep Garcia
