Enduro 1 riders in the World Championship rounds in Lanidloes, Wales struggled this weekend in conditions that they found some of the toughest this season.

On Sunday KTM Factory rider Ivan Cervantes managed to improve on his fourth position from Saturday to finish in second on Sunday narrowly missing out on victory. He had a bad start in the first Extreme test but pressed on to finally finish in second place behind behind his rival Ahola. Team-mate Tom Sagar was fifth on both days in a competition that team boss Fabio Farioli described as "roulette"

Riders were confronted with wet conditions and large sections of the course that were slippery grassed surfaces.
