A weekend of action and success across France, Indonesia, and Italy.

Italian Indoor Trial Championship – Cortenova, Lecco

The 2025 Italian Indoor Trial Championship saw the Beta Factory Trial Team shine in its third round in Cortenova, Lecco. After the season’s opening at the Motodays fair in Rome, the event offered a very positive race for Beta riders. Matteo Grattarola in the men’s category and Andrea Sofia Rabino in the women’s both secured excellent first-place finishes. These important successes will allow both to head into the final round in November, at the International Motorcycle Exhibition, Eicma, with a significant advantage over their competitors.

Hard Enduro – Hiu Salatan Hard Enduro (Indonesia)

The Hiu Salatan Hard Enduro in Indonesia, the largest and most renowned Hard Enduro event in Asia, saw the participation of the world’s elite in the discipline. Among the protagonists, Beta athlete Alfredo Gomez secured a solid 5th place in the overall standings. Rider Tim Apolle also made his mark in this highly competitive environment, achieving a good 5th position in the Super Enduro qualifying heat, although he did not then participate in the main race due to technical issues.

The extreme environmental conditions of the venue – high heat and humidity – severely tested both riders and machines. However, the Beta athletes overcame these challenges with concentration, endurance, and impeccable riding skill, proving that the Beta XPro model is perfectly up to the challenges of Hard Enduro even in the most demanding climatic conditions.

After this successful weekend, Tim Apolle is preparing for a short summer break before the last major outdoor event of the season: the EnduroGP in England. Subsequently, he will fully focus on preparing for the USA Endurocross Championship and the SuperEnduro World Championship, where he will return to race for the Beta Factory Team USA. 

French Enduro Championship – Moirans-en-Montagne (39)

A positive weekend for Léo Joyon of the Oxmoto Beta team at the French Enduro Championship in Moirans-en-Montagne, a magnificent village in the Jura on the Swiss border.
The location, already well-known in the motorcycling world for hosting previous editions, offered a new track for Friday evening’s Super Test and challenging special stages in an impressive environment. Léo Joyon concluded the weekend with two podiums, taking 3rd place on Day 1 and 2nd place on Day 2.

Despite a difficult start in the Super Test and some minor initial difficulties due to using a new bike, Joyon demonstrated determination and resilience during a long and physically demanding race, securing important championship points and maintaining provisional second place in the E2 standings. Nathan Boulenc, a young prospect from the National Oxmoto Team and partner of the OXMOTO group, also had a solid weekend, achieving two top 5 placements in the Junior category. His performances indicate consistent and promising growth for the rest of the season.

The team manager, Antoine Rigaudeau, expressed satisfaction with Léo’s two podiums, considering them an excellent result despite a more complicated weekend than expected on terrain not ideally suited for the rider. The team is now focused on recovering points from the leader in the next round in Normandy for the second half of the championship.
