Hot weather and exceptionally close racing brought the GP AMV Seguros of Spain to an exciting close on day two in Jerez. Across all classes the second day of racing at round two of the Maxxis FIM Enduro World Championship was incredibly competitive.

On day two there was no change at the head of the Enduro 2 class. Claiming his fourth win of the season, KTM’s Meo continues to establish himself as the rider to beat. Delivering his best result of the 2015 series to date, Alex Salvini (Honda) chased Meo home for second, with Pela Renet (Husqvarna) third.

As Enduro 3 continues to prove itself as one of the most competitive classes of the championship, Husqvarna’s Bellino is showing himself as the main rider to beat.
