Twenty two years of history have delivered 49 enduro titles, under the expert guidance of Fabrizio Azzalin. After the great success of 2011 – winning riders and manufacturers championship in both the E1 and E2 class, Team CH Racing will start the new season with a new rider line up and the challenge of a championship that looks to be highly competitive.

E1: Matti Seistola (FI), Lorenzo Santolino (SP) and Ricky Dietrich (USA) E2: Juha Salminen (FI), Alex Salvini (I) and Romain Dumontier (F)
In the E1 class the TE250 will once again be ridden by Matti Seistola (Finland), third in 2011, along with Santolino (Spain) and Ricky Dietrich (USA).
With no less than 8 world titles under his belt, Enduro icon Juha Salminen will lead the team, riding the new TE310 in the E2 class.
Alex Salvini, the up and coming rider in 2011, after just one year in enduro following many in motocross, looks set to play a prominent role in the World and Italian championships. The young French rider Romain Dumontier is the final member of the CH Racing team, which, in addition to participating officially in the WEC will also take part in the national enduro championships in Spain, France, the UK and Italy.
