In Gold, Manuel Lettenbichler took a clear win at Extreme XL Lagares 2026, stopping the clock at 3:21:48 and once again showing why he remains the reference in hard enduro.
Behind him, Teodor Kabakchiev secured a strong second place, a little over 5 minutes back, while Mario Roman finished a very close third, only a few seconds behind Kabakchiev. That means the fight for the podium just behind Mani was tight, even if the win itself was more controlled.
Wade Young came home in fourth, around 17 minutes behind the winner, with Mitch Brightmore completing the top 5, roughly 18 minutes down. So the main story in Gold was Lettenbichler’s solid margin up front, followed by a much closer battle for the remaining podium spots.
