A punishing eight-event schedule faced the gravity-defying heroes of the World Enduro Championship as the 2007 battle commenced. The ravine-leaping, extreme off-road action would take the competitors throughout Europe, the USA and Canada in the chase of championship glory. Juha Salminen was out to dominate the big bike class, but the likes of Simone Albergoni and Marc Germaine would keep him honest all the way. In the other classes Samuli Aro and Ivan Cervantes were both chasing their third title in a row, but in the unpredictable world of enduro competition made sure the championship battles were far from straightforward.
