Once the first round of the Enduro World Championship was disputed in Chile, with an earthquake included, this weekend the second round was held in Argentina where 146 pilots of 18 nationalities they contested the race. The nationalities of the pilots were distributed as follows: 63 Argentine pilots, 21 Chilean, 20 French, 13 Italian, 8 Spanish, 5 Finnish, 4 Uruguayan and English, 3 Swedish, 2 Colombian and 1 representative from Germany, Belgium, Ecuador, Estonia, Holland, Portugal, Switzerland and Venezuela, until completing the 146 participants.
The Enduro GP of Argentina was held on a route traced at the foot of the Andes Mountains, which included three special tests near the city of San Juan. By having special sections that ran through the San Juan Fairgrounds, a lot of the public was able to follow the races closely. With temperatures that were around 30 degrees Surely it was the most exhausting race for the pilots of this recently started WEC 2012. In fact, as you can see in the videos, it seems that they are contesting the Dakar.
First day: Victory by Iván Cervantes
E1 Day One: Antoine Meo dominates
Antoine Meo (KTM) was unstoppable in Enduro 1, achieving another victory. Setting a dizzying pace from the first lap, only Frenchman Marc Bourgeois was able to follow him at a distance to finish in second position. Simone Albergoni (HM Honda) finished third and my countryman Lorenzo Santolino finished seventh. It seems that Antoine Meo (KTM) listened to our reader Sergio Serrano his comment in the Chile test and tries to sentence as soon as possible.

E2 First day: Iván Cervantes breaks the streak
Iván Cervantes (Gas Gas) after a year and a half without achieving a victory was proclaimed the winner on this first day. Juha Salminen (Husqvarna) retired after a stone got caught between his sprocket and chain, locking the rear wheel. Incredible that such silly and rare breakdowns can put you out of the race. But in the video we can see Juha himself with the stick with which he tried to free the chain. With the elimination of the Husqvarna rider, Cervantes suddenly found himself with a 30-second lead, taking a well-deserved victory.

The third place went to Joakim Ljunggren (Husaberg), Aigar Leok (TM Racing) was fourth after an accident in the Extreme Test made him give up the podium. Oriol Mena (E - Husaberg) was sixth, and Jordi Figueras (Gas Gas) tenth.
