The curtain fell on the ninth edition of the Beta Enduro Master at the Miravalle International Circuit in Montevarchi, hosted by the Moto Club Brilli Peri as part of the traditional Beta Day. It was an adrenaline-fuelled weekend, kicking off on Saturday with social gatherings and a fundraiser in aid of the Lettera 8 charity, before giving way on Sunday to the decisive challenges along an 80-kilometre course comprising a cross test and an enduro test, each tackled eight times.

Luca Piersigilli was crowned Beta Enduro Master Champion 2026 in the premier class: a second-place finish on the day, behind Nicola Salvini, was enough for the rider from the Marche region to seal a season he dominated from start to finish. Behind him, the final Top Class podium saw Elia Pegoraro take second place and Christian Garzotto third. In the other categories of the trophy, the 2026 season title went to:

50cc Class: Bartek Scarfiello
125cc Class: Duccio Giraldi
250cc 2-stroke Class: Fabio Genini
Class 300: Matteo Manenti
Class 4T: Mirco Giorgini
Veteran Class: Massimo Bacchetti
Superveteran Class: Paolo Lombardini
Women’s Class: Giulia Garibaldi, star of the Lady Beta project

An exciting conclusion to a single-make championship that continues to grow, ready to take up the challenge once again in 2027.

From the beaches to the mountain peaks of Turkey, the famous Sea to Sky event put the best riders on the international scene through their paces. James Moore delivered an exceptional performance in terms of consistency and speed, consistently battling at the very top: third on Thursday, second on Friday and third on Saturday.

Thanks to this run of results, Moore has made a crucial leap up the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship standings, claiming first position in the Junior World Championship standings (P1) and consolidating his fifth position in the overall standings (P5).

The final round of the German Trial Championship, held in Werl, saw Team Kivo’s riders on Beta machines crowned champions. With yet another victory in four of the five heats contested, Joni Heidel on a Beta Sincro 300 Factory was officially crowned 2026 German Trial Champion.

Rounding off the German team’s excellent season were a second-place finish on the day at Werl for Florian Stephan, who finished fifth overall in the championship, and a seventh-place finish for Johannes Heidel. There was also great celebration in the Senior Over 50 category, where Armin Prutscher on a Beta Sincro 300 claimed the title of 2026 German Senior Over 50 Champion.
