Honda Racing RedMoto Enduro Team’s Steve Holcombe secured a dominant Enduro2 class win at last week’s FIM International Six Days of Enduro in Spain, also placing second overall to Spain’s Josep Garcia.

Making his return to the FIM 6DAYS, Honda Racing RedMoto Enduro Team’s Steve Holcombe looked to deliver a strong performance in Galicia, Spain. Racing for Great Britain in the World Trophy classification, while also pushing for outright individual honours, Steve opted to contest the Honda-RedMoto CRF 400RX Enduro in the Enduro2 category.

Despite racing his Honda-RedMoto CRF 250RX Enduro to second overall in the EnduroGP World Championship, Steve immediately gelled with his 400f.

Hitting the ground running on day one, he won the opening two special tests to quickly establish himself at the head of the field. Facing a strong challenge from Spain’s Josep Garcia, Steve eventually ended day one in second, while topping the Enduro2 category.

Unfortunately, a retirement within the Great Britain World Trophy team saw team GB’s hopes of a repeat win from 2022 vanish on day one. Unable to contest for a World Trophy podium, Steve set about claiming the best individual result he could. An incredible day two, saw him claim a well-deserved overall win.

Enjoying his battles with Garcia throughout the rest of the week, Holcombe finished second overall in each of the remaining days to end this year’s FIM 6DAYS as the overall individual runner-up. In the Enduro2 class, Steve won all six days in Galicia, to secure the category win.

Steve Holcombe: “It was a fun week, but a tough week. I really enjoyed myself and gave my best each day. It was disappointing for Great Britain to go out on day one, but it can happen in this race. After that I could only focus on myself and fight for the individual result. To take the overall win on day two was brilliant and was a highlight of my week. At times, due the conditions, it was harder to manage the bigger bike in the special tests than I would have liked. But overall, I’ve had fun on the 400f this week.”
