Metzeler Completes World Enduro Triple Crown with E1 World Championship

  • Metzeler Completes World Enduro Triple Crown with E1 World Championship

Rome, GA – After completing 16 grueling rounds of the 2009 World Enduro Championship, a familiar face stood atop the championship podium in the premier Enduro 1 Class as reigning champion Mika Ahola made it two-in-a-row aboard his Honda with third and fourth place finishes at the GP of France. Additionally, KTM riders Johnny Aubert and Ivan Cervantes captured the Enduro 2 and Enduro 3 titles, respectively, making Metzeler and its premier 6 Days Extreme tire the undisputed champions of World Enduro with its fourth three class sweep in the last five years.

For Ahola, the title marks the third of his career and thanks to his consistent effort throughout 2009, he was able to wrap up the championship by 15 points. Fellow Metzeler rider Simone Albergoni brought home third in the standings.

With the E2 championship already decided and awarded to Aubert, it was time for another Metzeler rider to shine. American off-road legend David Knight capped off his first foray to Europe with an impressive run in France, finishing second on Day 1 and racing to the win on Day 2 aboard his Kawasaki. Aubert finished the season with just a five point margin over second.

The E3 Class was a battle between Metzeler riders all season and the trend continued in France. Cervantes’ third place finish on Day 1 secured the title over Gas-Gas’ Christophe Nambotin, but Nambotin was determined to put on a show in front of his home country, sweeping both day’s and closing to within 24 points of Cervantes by season’s end.
