Results

Organized by the local MC Baglioni in a suggestive environment such as that of the central Apennines, the terrain conditions changed according to the changing weather, in particular heavy rain on several occasions made the surface challenging.
La departure took place regularly at 08.30 on Sunday in a sunny climate, but after a stretch of around 20 kilometres, the competitors faced the first Enduro Test, which was subsequently canceled due to interventions. The rest of the program was regular, although the Cross Test was shortened and made feasible for the two passages scheduled for the day. However, the Special Stage took place inside the Ceccarini cross-track which also served as a paddock and starting area, also considering the presence of a well-known name in world motorsport such as Tony Cairoli, in his first Enduro race and guest of KTM in the respective Trophy, in conjunction with the Husqvarna Enduro Trophy.

Towards the end of the day there was another downpour which made the comparison even more challenging. Given the weather conditions, the awards ceremony for the third stage briefing was also postponed.
Among those present at the race Gioele Meoni, son of the famous Fabrizio, in his second Enduro race, as well as the 2021 Italian Major champion Alessio Paoli.

Moving on to results: the Top Class was won by Andrea Castellana riding a FE 350, while Alessandro Tosana won the 125 class. Massimo Wolkow Mutti stood out in 250 2T, Andrea Gioia in 300, Luca Grosso in 250 4T and Gianni Ganozzi in 450.
Marcello Carini shone in Veteran 2T and Andrea Gelli in Veteran 4T, while Lisa Baldin won the women's category. Furthermore, Elio Cambria and Edoardo Molinari won the Iron and Super Iron respectively. Cambia also won the Nanni Tamiatto Challenge.
Guido Conforti, another prominent guest, won the Special Husqvarna class and, finally, among the dealers, success was achieved by Bike & Co of Voghera, while in the classification reserved for Motoclubs, Trial David Fornaroli of Piacenza prevailed.

Considering the variable weather conditions, the organizers assisted by track inspector Arnaldo Nicoli had to intervene both on the initially planned race lap and on the three scheduled special tests. Despite the modifications and preliminary operations, the night water bomb before the race made the ground waterlogged and challenging, as mentioned. Through precise and targeted interventions, however, the stage took place regularly.
Il next commitment, the third of the season, is expected in Edolo (BS) on 29 May 2022.
