ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN RIDERS. NO ROOM FOR MISTAKES."},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Round 1 of the 2026 European Enduro Championship is done, and Tam\u00e1si didn\u2019t disappoint. Over two days of racing in the Hungarian heat, the 2026 season announced itself exactly as it should \u2014 loud, dusty, and brutally competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Day 1 was a warning, Day 2 was the confirmation. The wind picked up, the dust got worse, and visibility on the specials dropped to the point where riders were navigating as much by instinct as by sight. The trails were already torn apart from Saturday. Sunday made them harder. The riders who kept their head under pressure were the ones who came out on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE OVERALL: LISZKA DOES IT AGAIN<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Roland Liszka won both days, and he made it look composed \u2014 but nobody in the paddock would call it easy. The Hungarian was under pressure from start to finish across the entire weekend, with the pack refusing to give him any breathing room. Two seconds separated him from Luca Fischeder on Day 2. Two seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes the result even more significant is where it happened. Liszka won this event last year. Now he’s done it again, in front of his home crowd, on trails he knows as well as anyone. When he crossed the line, Tam\u00e1si made sure he felt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fischeder was the story of Day 2 on the men’s side \u2014 the German moved up from fourth on Saturday to second on Sunday, consistent and clinical as others around him made small errors that cost them places. Lorenzo Macoritto, who had pushed Liszka hardest on Day 1, dropped to third as Fischeder found another gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE WOMEN: SELJESETH STAYS STRONG<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Malene Seljeseth won on Saturday. She won on Sunday. And she had to earn both of them. Matilda Ahlstr\u00f6m was there all weekend, keeping the Norwegian honest through every special test, never letting the gap grow to a point of comfort. What decided it was consistency \u2014 Seljeseth simply didn’t crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other story in the Women’s category was Stephanie Bianchi. The Italian finished fifth on Day 1 and came back on Day 2 feeling stronger, moving up to third place and showing what she’s capable of when everything clicks. One to watch as the season develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROUND 1 DONE. THREE MORE TO GO.<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tam\u00e1si set the tone for 2026. The racing was tight, the conditions were brutal, and the championship is wide open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next stop: Piediluco, Italy \u2014 27\u201328 June.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
