For its 15th edition, the Enduro de la Semoy can thank very good weather. Too much, perhaps. “ It’s a very good first day, savors Matthias Avril, president of the VTT Semoy Club and organizer of the event. The runners are very satisfied with the proposed route. There were only minor injuries, only minor injuries. »

However, this first of two days of racing was marked by numerous retirements, as could be expected. Around fifteen or even twenty participants already on the side announced the organizer. “ The drivers had to face the first heat of the season, they are no longer used to it, assures Matthias Avril. It must be said that the course is also very physical, with quite a few connections. »

After a first day and six special stages, Olivier Bruwière (Scott Benelux) is in the lead in the main category with a time of 19 minutes and 23 seconds. Ludovic Oget (Semoy VTT Club) is leader in the electric mountain bike category, with a time of 22 minutes. Finally, Lena Arndt (Nicolai Racing) is in the lead among the women in 24 minutes 57.
