Arsenal Heads Into the Final Day with Key Fights Still Open. Ott 2min behind Jozsa.

Hard Enduro Arsenal continues to deliver a strong start to the Romanian hard enduro season, and after Day 3, the overall standings are now much clearer. Even so, with Day 4 still to come, several important positions remain open, especially around the podium.

In PRO, Jozsa Norbert Levente (Master Bike Cluj) still leads the way with a total time of 5:04:23, but his gap over Ott Kornel Jun. (Go Racing) has grown to just 2 minutes and 32 seconds, which still keeps the fight for the win somehow alive heading into the final day. The podium has changed behind them, with Hambășan Vlad Casian (ACS Poiana Ruscă) now sitting third overall after a strong Day 3. Sulea Cezar Nicolae (NordicaMoto – Go Racing) has dropped to fourth, while Varga Zsolt (NordicaMoto – Go Racing) remains fifth.

In VET, Zdenek Cyprian (Slovacia) remains in control with 5:43:52, leading Aleks Humar (Extrem Motors Orăștie) by 8 minutes and 5 seconds. Bart Stroișteanu (Master Bike Cluj) continues to hold third, followed by Vincze Stefan Daniel (Master Bike Cluj) and Ezaru Razvan George (Lido Câmpina). The class looks relatively settled unless something major happens on the final day.

In EXPERT, David Ignat Ioan (Master Bike Cluj) remains the benchmark rider of the event so far. He leads on 5:05:43, with David Mihai Rusanescu (Adrenaline Motorsports) in second at 19 minutes and 25 seconds behind. The biggest change in this class comes just behind, where Raul Marian Marin (Motokron Racing Team) has moved into third overall. Madalin Mihai Chelcea (Master Bike Cluj) is now fourth and is only 1 minute and 48 seconds away from the podium, meaning he is still close enough to fight back on the last day. David Pop (Master Bike Cluj) stays fifth, keeping the front group tightly packed behind the clear leader.

In FETE, Mihaela Isabela Ioniță (Master Bike Cluj) continues to control the class and now leads with 7:58:36. Barabas Agoston Andrea (Master Bike Cluj) is second, 4 hours, 55 minutes and 25 seconds behind.

Marin Bogdan Butiu (Black Ryders Sibiu) still leads the HOBBY CLASS with 4:45:48 and has extended his advantage to 14 minutes and 49 seconds over Mario Dalin Antonio Pop (Haita Deva) in second. Maria Grigoraș (Master Bike Cluj) – yes, a girl, remains third, while Matei Tudor Bortan (Crazy Bike Sibiu) holds fourth and Nils Asmussen (Germania) stays fifth.

With three days now completed, the race has moved from early positioning into final-day pressure. Some classes still have an open fight for victory, while others are now more about protecting podium spots or trying to break into them on the last day. One last strong ride can still change the final shape of the race.
