The 2026 Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship heads to Saint-Agrève, France, this weekend (17-19 July) for the penultimate round of the season, with Josep Garcia on the brink of securing a third consecutive EnduroGP world title.
The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider arrives with a 34-point lead in the overall standings and could wrap up both the EnduroGP and Enduro1 championships if results fall his way.
Behind Garcia, Andrea Verona and home favourite Zach Pichon remain in contention, while Britain’s Steve Holcombe sits fifth overall for Sherco Racing Factory, just five points behind Hamish Macdonald in the battle for a top-five finish. Brad Freeman is also looking to end the season strongly and currently holds sixth place in the standings for Beta Factory Team.
