Sandalion: Four registered class winners M1–M4 of the RoRally
The Sandalion register lists the four RoRally class winners Maikol Reboldi (M1), Tony Van Cauwenberghe (M2), Alexandru Goran (M3) and David Zucchini Del Vecchio (M4). The assignment is based on the FIM Europe results report and the current entry register. The organiser lists 39 riders in total. The opening of the paddock and first scrutineering are scheduled for today, 12 October; the race start is set for Tuesday at 1 pm. The programme lists five race days until 17 October, including a marathon stage and the night stage “Luna Nera”.

Sea to Sky: Kabakchiev disqualified, according to SPEEDWEEK
Manuel Lettenbichler won the Mountain Race in Kemer with a margin of more than four minutes. The retrospective classification is causing discussion: SPEEDWEEK reports Kabakchiev’s disqualification following a protest over outside assistance, as well as 197:165 world championship points for Lettenbichler ahead of Mitch Brightmore. However, when accessed on Monday morning, the official online table still showed only five rounds and no Sea to Sky entry. The stated points tally can therefore not yet be confirmed there. The season finale Hixpania is scheduled for 23 to 25 October in Spain.

AMV Green Rallye: Navigation instead of GPX only
A pure roadbook loop was among the innovations of the AMV Green Rallye, which was scheduled for 9 to 11 October at the Château de Lastours. The organiser announced a total of nine routes of varying difficulty. The Terra Pirata app was intended for the new navigation loop; a download to Garmin devices was expressly ruled out. The control cards were also to be dropped: QR codes along the routes replace the paper proofs. For the finisher trophy, the announced concept requires confirmation of all nine loops.
Green Maroc 2027: 1,750 kilometres and an open question on price
Green Maroc is announced for 27 March to 4 April 2027, with seven stages and around 1,750 kilometres on the Almería–Merzouga–Nador route. Travel enduros from 300 to 1,300 cubic centimetres are eligible; the organiser excludes sport enduros. Planned are an electronic roadbook or GPX navigation, a marathon stage and a desert bivouac. The documents contradict each other on the early-bird price: the organiser’s news items advertise 3,250 euros until 31 October, while the linked form still gives 30 June 2026 for the 300-euro discount. According to both sources, the regular price is 3,550 euros. Prospective participants should have the deadline that actually applies confirmed.

Ducati Desmo450 EDS: Méo’s role at the 6DAYS
Antoine Méo is to demonstrate the Ducati Desmo450 EDS at the 6DAYS in Grândola from 12 to 17 October. The FIM announces the five-time enduro world champion as ambassador and companion for the live broadcasts. Planned are insights from the special tests as well as an appearance at the concluding motocross in Sines. The 9 October announcement describes demonstrations and media work; it does not establish a competitive entry.
