Mundell seals fourth straight European Enduro crown

Dan Mundell secured a fourth consecutive FIM Europe E2 Enduro Championship on Sunday (1 November) after completing another dominant season with a double victory at the final round in Woltersdorf, Germany.

The Briton won seven of the eight championship days across the four-round series in Hungary, Italy, Spain and Germany, finishing the season on 151 points – 27 clear of Sweden’s Franz Löfquist, with Poland’s Maciej Więckowski third.

Riding for TNT Corse KTM by P.A.R Homes, Mundell sealed the title on the opening day in Germany before adding another E2 victory on Sunday to complete a memorable weekend.

“This weekend in Germany was probably the highlight,” Mundell said. “It’s where I won my first European Championship as well, so it was nice to take number four there as well.”

Neave reflects on historic FIM Flat Track world title

ACU rider Tim Neave says becoming Great Britain’s first FIM Flat Track World Champion is only beginning to sink in after returning home from Argentina at the end of a four-year pursuit of the title.

The Lincolnshire rider sealed the 2026 World Championship at Totoras on Sunday (25 October), completing a landmark debut season for the VRX Power Maxed Dirt Store Ducati team.

His success topped off an impressive campaign for ACU riders on the world stage, with Dick Shepherd Triumph rider Jack Bell securing championship silver and 18-year-old team-mate Ashton Boughen also finishing inside the top four in the final standings.

Neave travelled to South America with a healthy points advantage and, after finishing second in Saturday’s penultimate round, needed just one point from Sunday’s finale to secure his place as an FIM world champion.

Two Heat victories on a completely unknown track put the championship beyond his rivals’ reach and completed a season in which he had led the standings since round four. His advantage over Bell was 20 points in the final standings.

“It’s still sinking in,” Neave admitted. “It’s been a whirlwind since finishing the race, getting everything loaded up and getting on the flights. I did have a bit of a moment on the plane when it started to sink in. It felt amazing.

“There’s a big sense of relief. This was my fourth season in the championship and I’ve always believed it was there. I just needed everything else to fall into place around me – the right bike, the right team and the experience in myself.”

Neave spent his first two seasons in the championship largely running his own programme, building experience year on year before joining the newly-created Ducati team for 2026.

ACU’s club riders make their mark at FIM 6DAYS in Portugal

British club riders produced a series of strong performances at the recent FIM 6DAYS Enduro in Portugal (12-17 October), with victory for the Rogershill Women’s Team and three British squads finishing inside the top 13 of the main Club Team Award.

Great Britain fielded 14 club teams at Grândola in Portugal, including 13 in the main Club Team Award and one in the Women’s Club Team Award. The entry was the largest of any national federation, with riders representing clubs and organisations from across England, Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Man.

Conditions made the 2026 event a serious test of both rider and machine. Dust and poor visibility affected the programme throughout the week, while long days, high temperatures and demanding terrain added to the challenge.

Rogershill takes Women’s honours
Rogershill Women’s Team (pictured) delivered the standout British club result by taking victory in the MOTOREX Women’s Club Team Award.

Elliot-Hall led the British effort and also secured first place in the Women’s Club individual classification. It was her third consecutive 6DAYS finish and came after another demanding week of riding in Portugal.

EnduroGB rider Chrissie Harcourt also completed the event on her first 6DAYS appearance. The two British riders were joined by Canadian Katie McGeachy, who was paired with Rogershill through the FIM. McGeachy recovered from timing out on the opening day to restart and complete the remainder of the event.

Reflecting on her 2026 6DAYS experience, Emily said: “I am very proud to have been a part of the 2026 Rogershill Women’s ISDE club team. We faced challenges getting a full team, but were successful with first-time ISDE riders Chrissie Harcourt from Wales and Katie McGeachy from Canada.

“It was an extremely tough event to finish and they both rode amazingly! This was my third ISDE finish and to stand on the podium as a Club and individual winner after a knee injury this year was beyond words. Thank you massively to all those that helped me and the team succeed.”

The Auto-Cycle Union (ACU) is pleased to welcome EXGB into its family, bringing the UK’s leading electric motorcycle sport series under the authority of the national governing body.

The new partnership reflects the ACU’s increased commitment to supporting and developing electric motorcycle competition and complements its existing work to nurture the potential world champions of the future.

Founded by experienced organiser Julie Coyne and Paul Oughton, EXGB runs electric balance bike events for children aged between three and 14 years old at venues across the UK. The series was launched five years ago and has proved hugely popular with youngsters and their families ever since.

An ACU British eBike Championship will be organised in 2027 and will consist of four rounds. A standalone electric offshore festival will also be held at the Robin Hill venue on the Isle of Wight. Series officials will also run ‘electric bike try-out’ sessions for youngsters at selected ACU and FIM events.

EXGB and its riders will also form part of the Arenacross series in 2027, creating another platform to showcase electric motorcycle sport and introduce young competitors to a wider audience.

EXGB attracts families with no previous experience of motorcycle sport and gives girls and boys equal opportunities to race. Electric balance bikes provide an affordable first step into competition for a new demographic of riders.

Julie said: “My team and I are excited to be joining the ACU as it takes the important step of embracing electric balance bikes and planning for the future. This is a partnership that will benefit EXGB and the young riders and families who are at the heart of everything we do.

GEORGE HEMINGWAY WINS 100TH SCOTT TRIAL
Richmond Motor Club
Beta rider George Hemingway defied his inexperience at the 100th Scott Trial to win the North Yorkshire event on Saturday (17 October) at only the second attempt.
Starting high above the market town of Richmond, the riders attempted 76 hazards over an 80-mile course on the exposed moorland. The event is based around the small village of Reeth and starts and ends high up on the Marske road.

Classed as the most demanding and ultimate test of rider and machine in a one-day motorcycle trials event, the Scott Trial once again lived up to its reputation with only 93 of the entry classed as finishers from a starting entry of 199 riders.

Organised by the Richmond Motor Club, the Scott Trial has a strong sporting heritage which dates back to 1914 and is unique in the fact that the rider’s time and observation scores are calculated together to find the overall winner.
