Marco de Canaveses (Portugal), 8th November 2020, The third round of the FIM Enduro World Championship was staged in Marco de Canoveses, a village a few kilometers from Porto with a course and three special tests that put everyone to the test the participating riders also due to the heavy downpours that fell throughout the race weekend. The riders then raced on slippery ground and at the limit of practicability, they faced the usual stones and rocks typical of Portuguese races and very muddy grounds.
