Enduro World Championship GP France
The birthplace of enduro in France, Brioude will host the final of the world championship on September 13, 14 and 15, 2024. And, by essence, the best riders in the discipline…
Brioude and enduro… A beautiful story, the first turns of the wheel of which date back to the 70s. And letters of nobility gained in 1980 with the organization in Brioude of the ISDT which, the following year, would become the ISDE (International Six Days of Enduro). Since then, the discipline has made its way on other lands but regularly returns to Brioude like this last round of the enduro world championship, which will be held on September 13, 14 and 15.
Le Brioude Motorcycle Club, the great architect of this return of the elite to Brivadois, promises three intense days for the riders and the expected large crowd, whether on the special stages, the spectacular points or the entertainment. From Italy, Germany, Spain, Poland, Great Britain, the United States, France and of course Brioude, the cream of enduro will be at the start of the event, whose route, partly on the foothills of Livradois, will give these modern-day knights and their mounts a hard time.
What should you know before going to meet them?
That the “super test” and the “X-Tream test” take place on the EREA site in Brioude.
That the “cross test” and the “enduro test” are marked out at the place called “Les Grèzes”, on the Champagnac-le-Vieux road.
That the “spectacle” points are: the coasts of Tridoulon, Jauriat, Rigoux and Simpal.
And also animations…
On Saturday, between 18 and 21 p.m., mini-moto freestyle demonstration and from 21 p.m., concert by the group Motel (free);
From Friday to Sunday, exhibition of exceptional motorcycles that have marked the history of French enduro; DJ evening on Friday, etc.
