What kind of race it is

The championship’s only European round: about 2,201 km in total with roughly 1,269 km of timed specials, mostly fast gravel tracks, with stage three crossing into Spain around Badajoz. Heavy rain made the 2026 edition muddy and slippery.

2026 result

Daniel Sanders (Australia, Red Bull KTM) won in 11h03m53s for the second year running, after a week-long duel with Tosha Schareina (Honda, +1m56s). Adrien Van Beveren (France, Honda) was third at +8m25s.
