Rachel Gutish signed off her season in style, taking victory on the final day of racing in the Expotrade Women’s Enduro class in Wales. The RIEJU Factory Team rider got off to a perfect start, winning the first three special tests, and never let up as she built a 53-second advantage by the finish.
After taking the win on Saturday, teammate Rosie Rowett had to settle for second this time around. The British rider was unable to match Gutish’s pace but found herself in a close battle with ET James Sherco UK’s Nieve Holmes throughout the day.
Rowett eventually secured runner-up honors, finishing just 8.89 seconds ahead of Holmes. The result also confirmed the final championship order, with Gutish crowned world champion ahead of Rowett and Holmes.
Justine Martel (Beta) finished fourth, with fellow French rider Marine Lemoine (KTM) completing the top five. Vilde Marie Holt (Kawasaki) also enjoyed one of her strongest performances of the season.
In the Expotrade Junior Women’s Enduro class, Lorna Lafont (Husqvarna) dominated the final day, taking a clear victory ahead of fellow French rider Charlene Boudon (Fantic) and Aurora Pittaluga (Beta).
The result gave Lafont another reason to celebrate as she successfully defended her Expotrade FIM Junior Women’s Enduro World Cup title, making it back-to-back championships in 2026.
