Spanish Enduro Championship, Round 2 - Ponts
Podium results for the Husaberg riders in both E2 and E3 classes. Oriol Mena consolidates second place in the E3 standings.
The Husaberg riders in the Spanish Enduro Championship delivered another great performance  at the Enduro del Segre. This classic is one of the most charismatic rounds of the championship and has once again proven it's uniqueness in terms of difficulty and selectivity of tracks. Moreover, this edition of the race was used by many Enduro World Championship riders as preparation for the EWC, kicking off in Spain on April 10th, which made competition even tighter.

Under these circumstances the performance of the Husaberg squad was even more impressive. Oriol Mena scored second places in E3 on both days and also made it onto the podium in the overall results on day one, confirming his excellent form. With these strong results Oriol consolidated his 2nd place in the E3 standings as well as 4th position in the overall standings.

In E2, Xavier Galindo was joined by his Husaberg Factory teammates Valtteri Salonen and Joakim Ljunggren. On day one Galindo was able to keep them at bay by scoring a 3rd place finish right in front of Salonen and Ljunggren making it 3 Husabergs in the top 5. On day 2 Xavier Galindo had to settle for 5th, right behind Salonen. These results moved Xavier up to 3rd position in the E2 standings and to 5th overall.
