The Portuguese event once again brought together the world\u2019s best riders for a weekend marked by challenging terrain, intense competition, and changing weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"549\" data-end=\"975\">From the start, Moret demonstrated a high level of competitiveness. In the Eurocode prologue, a 60-km course through technical forests, he managed to position himself among the fastest riders, laying a solid foundation for the rest of the weekend. Later, in the Night Super Special held in Pe\u00f1afiel, the rider brought out his best, securing an excellent third-place finish thanks to precise and aggressive riding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"1285\">Saturday\u2019s action raised the difficulty even further with the Extreme Pe\u00f1afiel, a 115-km course featuring technical rocky sections and river crossings that, due to the rain, became particularly slippery. Moret managed the conditions well and remained competitive on extremely demanding terrain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1287\" data-end=\"1685\">On Sunday, during the main race, the physical and technical demands reached their peak. With a format of two hours plus one lap on a 5-km circuit, the race tested the endurance of all the riders. Francesc Moret completed a total of eight laps in the Gold category, achieving a commendable 13th-place finish in a race where only the strongest managed to finish at the front.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1928\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">With this result, Francesc Moret reaffirms his consistency and ability to perform under the most extreme conditions, relying on the reliability and precision of <a href=\"https:\/\/isbsport.com\/en\/cycling-bearings\/\">ISB Sport Bearings<\/a> as key allies in every challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1928\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-68042 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Francesc-Moret-Extreme-XL-Lagares-II-1024x669.jpg\" alt=\"Francesc Moret Extreme XL Lagares\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Francesc-Moret-Extreme-XL-Lagares-II-1024x669.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Francesc-Moret-Extreme-XL-Lagares-II-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Francesc-Moret-Extreme-XL-Lagares-II-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Francesc-Moret-Extreme-XL-Lagares-II-1536x1003.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Francesc-Moret-Extreme-XL-Lagares-II-2048x1337.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Francesc-Moret-Extreme-XL-Lagares-II-400x260.jpg 400w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Francesc-Moret-Extreme-XL-Lagares-II-700x457.jpg 700w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Francesc-Moret-Extreme-XL-Lagares-II-600x392.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second round of the 2026 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship took place in Portugal. &nbsp; Francesc Moret delivered an outstanding performance at the legendary Extreme XL Lagares, one of the most demanding events on the international hard enduro calendar.
