Enduro European Championship: home-advantage used in Finland On the first day of the Borilli Enduro European Championship 2022 in Sipoo, Finland, local hero Eero Remes won on his Husqvarna: the Finn has already collected three World Championship titles in his active career and, although he actually wanted to hang up his helmet, he couldn't resist the temptation: "I only live 20 minutes from here and I know the terrain and the conditions well. It would be a shame not to have taken the chance to race" he said after the competition. At first it didn't look like Hein had the advantage, because in the demanding extreme test the small rider got stuck in the long stone field and lost more than 40 seconds, which dropped him to sixth place overall.

Enduro European Championship: the 2022 Borilli European Enduro Championship enters its second half The 24 MX round 3 will take place this weekend in Sipoo, Finland, just 40 km east of the capital Helsinki.

His toughest opponent, the Briton Dan Mundell, had already prepared himself the past days in Sweden, with similar ground conditions as in Sipoo.

The 2019 European Champion, Eemil Pohjola, is also one of the riders to keep an eye on at his home race. In the senior category,
