This is a press release from the FIM…

In just one week’s time, the paddock for the historic 100th edition of the 6Days FIM Enduro of Nations will be open to spectators, five days ahead of the start of this year’s centenary event that runs from October 12-17 in Grândola in the beautiful Alentejo Region of southwest Portugal.

Opening the paddock on Thursday, October 8, with 100 percent free access for spectators to all the event’s venues, Special Tests, Final Cross Test, will give Enduro fans an early opportunity to savor the sights and sounds of the 6Days—widely regarded as one of the toughest tests of rider and machine on the planet—and allow them to wander around the commercial village and attend events such as the official all teams & riders photoshoot, the Opening Ceremony, as well as activities for all the family to enjoy as detailed in the schedule thereafter.

A major draw of the 6Days is the accessibility of the sport’s top riders, and early visitors to the paddock will be able to meet their heroes and also check out the leading nations’ official training sessions that will take place within a short walking distance (1,6 kms) from the Paddock and run from 8 October until noon on October 11.
