Only one month after Graham first started riding his new bike, the Husaberg TE 300, it was time for him to find out how he can perform under race conditions on his new machine.

Upon arrival in Portugal the team was a bit worried first because, although called "Extreme", the track and especially the prologue looked a bit too "easy" and fast for Graham to shine with his technical skills.

Came race day all worries where blown away immediately as Graham showed some incredible speed in the prologue finishing second to EWC regular and multi-time Portuguese Enduro champion Goncalo Reis and in front of Chris Birch and Xavi Galindo, who also did his first race aboard the Husaberg TE 300 after being sidelined due to injury for several months.

In the main race the riders had to complete two laps of 20 kilometers each including some really technical terrain like river beds in the beginning and more easy flowing trails in the second half. Each lap featured 3 checkpoints and Graham already was in the lead at CP 1 by 10 minutes in front of Chris Birch. He kept his advantage throughout the first lap and managed to extend his lead dramatically going into the more technical sections in lap 2 to more than 40 minutes. Going towards the finish of lap 2 he even took his time to stop and help some amateur riders, who were still in their first lap. A true british gentleman.

In the end Graham finished the two laps in a time of just under 3 hours and by a winning margin of 33 minutes over 2010 Red Bull Romaniacs winner Chris Birch.
"It was a great race for me. I was rellay curious myself how it's going to be racing my new bike, and it was awesome. The bike is strong, light and so easy to ride. I felt really comfortable on it." Graham commented after the race.

After his impressive performance Graham and his team are already on the way back to Italy for some more intensive training for the upcoming Indoor Enduro World Cup, kicking off on November 27th in Genoa, Italy.
