The EnduroGP world championship had the first round on Portugal, and Steve Holcombe (Honda) was the great winner after a very big battle with other big titans of the category.
Speaking on his sunday of competition at Fafe, the rider recalled the fight with his main rivals of the day, that lasted a lot of time: ‘I’m really pumped to take the EnduroGP win today [yesterday]. It was a heck of a battle all day between Josep (García), Nathan (Watson), and myself. I felt good in my riding and could really put the bike where I wanted to on track’.
Also, the seven time world champion of the EnduroGP got to make his debut winning with the new team, which left him quite happy with the upcoming season: ‘It feels awesome to win so soon with Honda, and also to get my first Enduro1 victory. I’m excited for the rest of the season!’.
In the overall standings García leads with 37 points, two more than Holcombe, while Andrea Verona is third with 30.
