Day 2 – 24MX Alestrem Hard Enduro 2026 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship Round 1
Hey race fans! It’s your girl Paige Turner reporting live from the stunning Pôle Mécanique Alès Cévennes in Saint-Martin-de-Valgalgues, France, and I am still on cloud nine after an epic Saturday! Day 2 of the 2026 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship turned up the heat even more, and the Minerva Prologue delivered absolute fireworks!
Saturday 18 April brought the big Super Enduro-style action. Riders faced a fast and technical course under seriously hot and dusty conditions. The day kicked off with heats for the Top 100 and Second Chance groups, followed by intense semi-finals, before the grand final decided the pole positions and crucial bonus championship points.
This prologue wasn’t just about bragging rights — it set the entire grid for Sunday’s main race with Le Mans-style start waves and handed out valuable early points. The format rewarded consistency, aggression, and smart racing across multiple short, sharp runs.
And the result at the sharp end? Pure domination!
