Almost a month after ending his participation in EnduroGP World Championship in Germany Jaume Betriu played, last weekend, the last appointment of the calendar of Spanish Enduro Championship 2022where the Catalan driver sealed his title in the E3 category and confirmed his second scratch position.
After the exams held since April on Puerto Lumbreras (Region of Murcia), Infiesto (Asturias), Gironella (Catalonia) and Alicante (Valencian Community), the national championship came to Galician lands to bring down the curtain on this year’s edition. And it was done, as it happened in previous tests, with a wet weekend, a fact that made the pilots, if possible, more attentive to the possibility of making unexpected mistakes that could be significantly punished they
Despite the difficulties experienced in Santiago de Compostela, Jaume Betriu once again proved to be the most solid in the E3 category, where he came as a clear leader. As the fastest rider on both days of competition, Betriu proved his final victory with a total of 225 points, after 75 added to Galiciawhile his greatest pursuer, Marc Sansfinished in 192 and Ramon Quer, third, with 176.
Betriu dominated the category from start to finish throughout the year, as the data shows: the man from Lleida was the best of the eight races on the calendar. A very clean passing performance was shown at the 2021 National, where he was also champion of the E3 category, although, on that occasion, he dropped a few points along the way.
Similar to last year, the WP pilot Eric Augé he finished second in the scratch classification, only surpassed by Josep García. At the Galician track, Betriu was fifth overall on day one, the same position he repeated the following day. With these results, he reached the number of 172 points, and finally finished ahead of the third place, the French boy. Zachary Pichonwho added 156 points, compared to 225 added by García as champion.
“We have done the work we were supposed to do. We want to be ahead, but the weather is not too good for us either. The water that fell over the weekend caused us to experience a rather tough race, where at times it was difficult for me to run”, Betriu points out about the rain. “However, I am happy with the balance for two days, we have some long and hard specials.”
“After a difficult and strange year due to injury, where it was difficult to find regularity and the sensations were not the best, taking the title at E3 and the second place at the beginning, I think it is really important for to me. “, highlights the Catalan .
In this way, Betriu almost closes another good year at a competitive level, although he still has one last promise left, this coming weekend in the twelfth edition of enduroc festival. “And then, think and get ready for 2023, that it won’t stop.”
