Opening the paddock on Thursday 8 October, with 100% free access for spectators to all the event’s venues, Special Tests, Final Cross Test, will give Enduro fans an early opportunity to savour 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.
