Mario Roman has won the first round of the new, Portuguese Hard Enduro Series in Valongo.
The Valongo event, which saw 149 riders across five classes, ran a prologue before the main three hour race.
The PHES is aimed at preparing Portuguese riders for their annual main event – the Extreme Lagares in May.
Mario Roman ran out the winner and surely bagged some quality riding time on the same hills as riders will face at the World Enduro Super Series round one at Lagares in May.
