Holcombe (136) and MacDonald (124) round out the top five. In Enduro1, Garcia has a lock on the championship with 240 points, followed by Triumph's Morgan Lesiardo (187). Verona has a slim six-point lead over Pichon in Enduro2, and Holcombe also has a six-point edge over Freeman. "It's an incredible feeling to leave France as both the 2026 EnduroGP and Enduro1 World Champion," Garcia said Sunday. "Winning both titles with one round still to go is something I'm proud of, and taking the overall victory today made it even more special. I feel like I've taken another big step forward this season, both with my riding and as a racer, and that's down to all the hard work from everyone around me. I'm incredibly grate - ful to the whole team for every- thing they've done this year. Now it's time to enjoy these titles and head to Wales looking to finish the season on a high." Despite a tough weekend, Verona still leads in Enduro2 but by just six points over the red-hot Pichon. "It's been a tough day and not the result we were aiming for," Verona said Sunday. "I made too many mistakes during the first two laps, which cost me a lot of time, and after that it was difficult to recover. I kept push - ing until the end, but sixth overall and third in Enduro2 was the best we could manage today. There's still one round left with two important days of racing." "It's been a really positive weekend," Holcombe said, "and I'm delighted to leave France leading the Enduro3 Champion - ship, which was our main goal. Saturday was a little eventful after one of the biggest crashes I've had in a long time, but thank- fully I could carry on, win the class and finish fourth overall. On Sunday I focused on staying consistent and avoiding any mis - takes after the crash. To finish on the EnduroGP podium again and take another Enduro3 win is a great result. It's always special to do well at Sherco's home GP." CN EnduroGP Saturday Overall (Top 5) 1. Zach Pichon (TM) 2. Josep Garcia (KTM) 3. Andrea Verona (KTM) 4. Steve Holcombe (She) 5.
