Josep Garcia is not the first and will not be the last. However, he is certainly the Enduro champion whose name can be associated with legends such as Juha Salminen, Giovanni Sala, and Mika Ahola. Just to give a few examples (we don't want to take anything or anyone away). He is the leading figure who finds the motivation to excel whatever type of event he participates in.

This year, Garcia has won everything. That is, his list of achievements includes the EnduroGP (overall) and Enduro1 World Championships, and the overall and class victory (consequently) at the ISDE International Six Days of Enduro in Bergamo (5th consecutive win). The season has also crowned other champions, but Josep took home what was available to him.

And without too much apparent difficulty, at that. Fabio Farioli's protégé had only one rival this year (or rather one and a half). One is Andrea Verona, the no less effective and incisive alter ego of the Enduro World Championship, and the “half” is Zachary Pichon, but it must be admitted that “Zac” was missing in the crucial final stage of the season

(but he certainly has what it takes to excel in the very near future). Anyway, we're talking about Josep, so let's see and hear him in a slightly more relaxed, introspective setting. As an endurance rider by passion, in short.
