The Enduro World Championship stops in Romania for the third round of the 2024 season and the town of Bacău, in the historical region of Moldova, Romania.

From Friday 10 May to Sunday 12 May it hosted the event which attracted a large audience, starting from the Super Test on Friday evening and throughout the race weekend.

The 52 km route, masterfully designed by the Motoclub 3.3 km characterised by hard and dusty terrain, followed by a natural Extreme Test of 2 Km inside a forest with hard terrain alternating with treacherous parts with stones and roots and finally an Enduro Test inside a very dense forest technical and fast made particularly challenging by the presence of steep climbs and descents and by the hard ground full of roots.

Matteo Cavallo ran a splendid race at the Romanian GP, the Piedmontese driver immediately started strong, recording the best overall time at the Super Test on Friday evening and in the two days of competition he collected two excellent second places in the hotly contested E3 class.

After the good performances at the Assoluti Lorenzo Macoritto was unable to shine on Romanian soil. The final score for him is a ninth and an eighth place in the hard-fought and difficult E1 class.

The French driver Leo Le Quere, despite the pain from an injury to his right hand, achieved a well-deserved ninth and seventh place in the E2 class.

In the Junior Classification, two days on the top step for our Alberto Elgari who managed to bring home a double victory. Alberto managed to be fast right from the start on both days and despite some errors he managed to overcome his opponents with a reasonable margin. Alberto is now leader of the Championship with a six point advantage over the second.
