Enduro 3 title. The Bel-Ray
Husqvarna rider could have
walked away with a suc-
cessful season at that point,
but went on to win the day
on Sunday—icing on the
cake of a great year.
In the Enduro 1 ranks,
the championship came
down to the final day be-
tween Eero Remes and
Christophe Nambotin. The
duo prepared to do battle
on Saturday, with Nambotin
making his return to racing
since having knee surgery.
Racing in front of his home
crowd, Frenchman Nambo-
tin was desperate to keep
his title hopes alive with
a win on Saturday, but he
couldn't stop Remes from
winning five tests aboard
his TM. The Finnish rider
held a 10-point advantage
going into Sunday's compe-
tition, and despite a full day
of incredibly close racing,
Remes was able to best his
rival and earn the champion-
ship.
"It's amazing to finally win
a world title," said Remes. "I
really enjoyed this last round
of the series, and I think that
showed in my riding. I didn't
feel any pressure and rode
well. I liked the conditions
and won the championship
with two day-wins."
For Nambotin—despite a
valiant effort and a fight to
the finish—the day ended in
disappointment. CN
