Garcia Wins FIM EnduroGP Championship R ed Bull KTM Factory Racing's Josep Garcia clinched the 2024 FIM EnduroGP World Cham- pionship following a dominant day-one ride in France, Septem- ber 14-15. Taking seven test wins out of a possible nine on Satur- day, the KTM 250 EXC-F racer se- cured the victory in style to clinch his first-ever EnduroGP World title with a day to spare. Still, the Spaniard had more business to take care of, and that was the Enduro1 Championship, which came down to the season's final day, Sunday. Garcia again domi - nated, taking the overall win and the class championship. "This is a dream come true," Garcia said after Sunday's win. "The last two years have been a huge fight between some difficult races and injury, but this moment now is unforget - table, and all the hard work has been worth it. I've achieved my dream of becoming EnduroGP World Champion, and we did it on the first day here in France by winning the overall. I was quite surprised at how relaxed I was today [Sunday], and I went through all the tests without a single crash. It was a perfect day, and I think that's the best way to become a champion—by winning the day. I have to give thanks to the whole Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team and WIND IN THE P58 Red Bull KTM's wrapped up his first EnduroGP (overall) World title in France. PHOTOS: FUTURE7MEDIA
