The pilot from Figueira Álvaro Gaspar will represent Portugal at the FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy 2026, which takes place in Germany over four days of competition. The event is known for its extremely challenging routes, with extreme mud that tests the limits of participants and their machines.

Gaspar's passion for motorcycling was inherited in his grandfather's workshop, where he learned and fell in love with the world of motorcycles from an early age. This family influence became the foundation of his entire trajectory in motorsport, shaping not only his technical skills but also his determination.

At the German event, Álvaro Gaspar will face internationally renowned pilots, true giants of world motorcycling. Despite the monumental challenge of competing against established names, the Portuguese pilot is motivated by the pride of representing Portugal in this prestigious competition.

The event promises to be a severe test for both pilots and machines, with the adverse mud conditions being one of the greatest obstacles of the FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy 2026. Gaspar sees this experience as an opportunity to establish himself in the international endurance motorcycling scene.
