Final results from the 2024 FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy where Italy claimed a third consecutive victory in the veterans team competition ahead of France and the Czech Republic – Dakar legend Stephane Peterhansel rolls back the years to claim the individual honours.

Ensuring a week to remember on home soil, the trio of Enrico Tortoli (KTM), Tullio Pellegrinelli (Puch Frigeri) and Giorgio Grasso (Kramer) secured Italy’s third consecutive victory in the event.

The final day of the 2024 EVT competition took riders to the San Pacifico International Crossodrome in nearby San Severino Marche for the traditional final motocross, the last special test for the 400-plus competitors.

With a comfortable lead in the Vintage Veterans Trophy Team competition, Italy had a virtual grasp on the title but, knowing the unpredictable nature of vintage enduro, they were careful not to be complacent until the flag.

Putting on a show for their home crowd, Italy rode clear to claim victory on the fourth and final day, and with it, secure their third consecutive FIM Vintage Veterans Trophy Team win.

“It was a beautiful race. It went great today, and we couldn’t have asked for a better result,” Grasso explained. “Today we went fast, but carefully, and had a little luck on our side too.

“This victory is a great team effort. Everyone around us worked hard to ensure riders and bikes made it through each day. Overall, it’s been super positive, and a great result on home soil. We will celebrate tonight.”

While Italy rode to the win, the fight for the podium was closely fought out on day four. An incredibly strong ride for second, saw the Czech Republic close in on rivals France for the runner-up result. However, despite placing fourth behind the United States on the day, France had enough in hand to secure the silver medal position.

Although only falling just 40-one points short of beating France, the Czech Republic could still be pleased with their efforts in this year’s FIM EVT for third overall.

Cementing a consistent and solid race with sixth today, Portugal ended the competition in fourth ahead of what proved a tight battle for fifth place between the United Kingdom just holding off Switzerland by 68 points to complete the top five nations in this year’s FIM Vintage Veterans Trophy Team.
