• Italy start as defending champions of the Vintage Veteran Trophy
Competitors and fans of vintage enduro will celebrate the ninth edition of the FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy (EVT) in Piekoszów, Poland, from 6-9 August. Growing in popularity since its inception in 2016, before becoming a standalone event in 2021, the FIM EVT has fast become an annual pilgrimage for riders and spectators the world over.
Excitement builds in Piekoszów for FIM EVT
Marking fifty-eight years since theFIM International Six Days Trial (ISDT) was first held in Poland, and twenty-one years since the FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) last visited Poland in Kielce, the FIM and event organisers KTM Novi Korona are excited to commemorate these anniversaries with the FIM EVT. With Piekoszów situated just seven kilometres from Kielce, organisers are promising a top-quality course, special tests and festival of vintage Enduro that will provide an unforgettable experience for all.
On Tuesday 5 August, the FIM EVT will begin with the customary opening ceremony and nations parade in Piekoszów. Wednesday will see the first day of racing commence, with a forty-kilometre liaison followed by the time-honoured, traditional acceleration test.
Day Two and Day Three will be the most challenging of the FIM EVT. Competitors will complete one-hundred-and-thirty kilometres of riding, including six special tests each day. The final day of the competition will see riders complete a short, eighteen-kilometre liaison to nearby Wincentów for the Final Special Test. Returning to Piekoszów, an evening prize ceremony will draw this year’s FIM EVT to a close.
Italy look to defend Vintage Veteran Trophy honours in Poland
For 2025, over two-hundred-and-thirty competitors from fifteen nations will compete in this year’s FIM EVT. The Vintage Veteran Trophy category will see eleven nations race for victory. As defending champions, Italy will start as the nation to beat and feature an unchanged line-up of Enrico Tortoli, Gorgio Grasso and Tullio Pellegrinelli. Aiming for their fourth straight victory, the Italian trio have made the FIM EVT their own in recent years.
In 2024, France placed behind Italy as vice-champions, with the Czech Republic completing the podium in third. Returning to the FIM EVT this year, both nations are eager to deny Italy victory. The United States, Slovakia, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Austria, Netherlands and Poland are all entered in the Vintage Veteran Trophy class.
In total, twenty-nine teams will start in the Vintage Silver Vase category, with a further twenty teams entered in the Vintage Club class. Additionally, fifty-two riders will race in the Individual competition.
