Ignacio Verneda says: “Firstly I would like to congratulate the organising committee on delivering an excellent sporting event, which has reflected a good image of the discipline of enduro.”

“After five days of such a good competition, I am happy with the decision that has been taken by the organising committee and the FIM Jury.”

“This is 100% the correct decision, as in all cases the security and safety of everyone involved with the event is the most important consideration.”

“Although the risk was only very minimal, we prefer not to take any risk at all. In all cases the decision has been well accepted by the riders, the teams and all those associated with the event.

Luis Otero says: “The organizing committee are extremely sad about this situation, as so far we have enjoyed a fantastic competition. From the start our philosophy was to have fun and for five days everyone has had incredible fun.”

“However due to circumstances beyond our control we have now taken the difficult, but correct decision to cancel the final day.”

“Everyone has seen the steps we have taken to safeguard the security of this magnificent event and in no way do we want to jeopardise the smiles that everyone have been wearing on their faces this week.”

“Our main goal has been the security of the riders in the hills, but now the priority is for the authorities to provide security for all the people in the region.”
