08 May Francesc Moret pushes hard at Extreme XL Lagares: grit, guts and pure enduro spirit
Hard enduro rider Francesc Moret once again proved his strength and skill at the legendary Extreme XL Lagares, one of the toughest and most iconic events on the global calendar.
Things kicked off with an 80 km stage in the morning, where tricky navigation took center stage, though the “hard” sections were fewer than expected. Unfortunately, a poor mousse choice cost Francesc precious minutes on a key uphill, finishing the day in second place.
But the race was far from over. That night, the cold and rain set the scene for the “Night Super Special Test” — and Francesc rose to the occasion. He dominated the stage and took the win, holding onto second overall in the standings.
Three full-on days with around 12 hours of riding pushed both mind and body to the limit. Francesc ended the weekend feeling proud of his performance, knowing there’s still room to grow. In his own words: “Tough, long and intense.”
He wrapped it all up with a shout-out to the fans, his family, and the organizers because Lagares never disappoints. On to the next one!
