The first Moto Enduro race of this season was held at the ASM Racing Circuits in Ta Qali, where 28 riders raced for gold..

The riders had to ride over natural obstacles, through water pools and over the Motocross and Autocross tracks.

Practice and Heat 1 were run during sunny and cloudy periods but rain shower's poured during Heat 2. Obviously, these conditions slowed down most of the riders.

Filletti won this class ahead of Trials riders Wayne Zahra on a Yamaha TTR 250cc who registered a time of 4 mins. 53.53secs and ahead of 3rd placed young Rowen Bonello riding a Beta REV 125cc in 5mins. 39.19 secs.

17 riders competed in Class B for bikes of over 250cc. Enduro, Trials and Motocross riders participated in this elite class. Victor Bajada riding his KTM EXC 300cc 2 stroke bike won this class by registering the best ride of 4 mins. 32.66 secs. Victor also performed very well during a rain downpour in his 2nd Heat.
