BR2 Solsona 2019 day one in a nutshell:

- Saturday saw the 350-strong entry set out on a long and physical day’s racing which included tow laps of traditional enduro tests plus a final Super Test race.
- Friday’s Super Test winner, Walker showed he’s up to speed in the Classic Enduro discipline. Boosted by some of the fastest times in the technical Extreme Test, he starts Sunday in a strong podium position and within range of Watson.
- WESS championship leader, Manuel Lettenbichler put I another strong performance and batting with Blazusiak and Walker, while setting some impressive test times.
- Ending day one just four seconds behind Blazusiak, Honda’s Kirian Mirabet was sixth and the first non-WESS regular and first non-KTM pilot.
- Yamaha’s Cristobal Guerrero had a difficult start to his day when a crash cost him valuable time on lap one. Regrouping, he worked his way back up the leader board to place seventh narrowly behind Mirabet.
- Christophe Nambotin was fast but a crash in the enduro test lost him a stack of time and he finished 12th.
- Husqvarna teammates, Alfredo Gomez and Graham Jarvis did not enjoy the best of days. Gomez finished in 15th and Jarvis was forced to retire feeling unwell.
