Beta Factory Racing’s Steve Holcombe has claimed the overall victory on both days of the Swedish EnduroGP World Championship round at Enkoping over the weekend.

Holcome won both days ahead of Australia’s Matthew Phillips, the Tasmanian two-time world champion maintaining his lead in the standings while also winning the E2 class each day.

“I have to say it was another great team effort from the CH Racing Sherco guys,” Phillips said. “It was also really cool to race to the end with Steve for the overall, with just a few seconds between us going into the final test. He got me for the overall but it was important to get another E2 class win.”

The overall podium was completed by TM’s Eero Remes on the opening day, before Johnny Aubert claimed the final podium placing on Sunday for a Beta podium double.
