Alex Lupato may not be the nectar on everyone’s lips at the moment, but following a terrible injury to his shoulder he showed true determination to get out there and absolutely boss the Italian Enduro Championship, gaining the title of Italian Enduro Champion…What would Cedric Gracia say, eh?

Immediately following his return, after a bad injury to his right shoulder, FRM Factory Team rider Alex gritted his teeth and fought through all the specials at the Italian Enduro Championship race in Canazei, Trentino. He rode against a ferrocious Martino Fruet who, only after the last special, came up with a one second delay against Alex, finishing up in second place.

Is this what a winners view looks like?

The day brought more surprises for the FRM Factory Racing Team, our Andrea "Fagiano" Pirazzoli finally brought home the Italian Champion jersey in his category, Elite Master, as did his team companion Rota Stefano in the Master 3-4 category.

Unlucky for some. Alex Lupato didn't face any mechanicals, hence the insanely fast timings he put on the board!
