The Women’s category at Round 4 of the French Enduro Championship in Bellou – La Ferrière aux Étangs saw thrilling battles and a new champion crowned. Rosie Rowett (Rieju) secured enough points over the weekend to clinch the French title with two rounds still to go, capping off an impressive season.
Day 1 – Brisebard breaks through
Saturday’s action was marked by the return of Mauricette Brisebard (Atomic Moto) to the top step. She claimed her first win of the year, finishing ahead of Rowett and Charlène Boudon, who rounded out the podium. Marine Lemoine was absent once again, still recovering from her crash in Moirans.
In the provisional standings, Rowett maintained her strong lead, while Boudon drew level with Andrea De Giovanni in the points chase.
Day 2 – A duel decided by seconds
Sunday brought one of the closest battles of the season. Brisebard attacked from the opening tests and kept Rowett under pressure all day. The British rider responded by winning the final specials, but Brisebard held on to secure victory by just three seconds.
Behind them, Charlène Boudon (Bonneton Fantic) confirmed her consistency with another third place, followed by Rose Alegre-Roumec (MC Lozérien) and De Giovanni.
With her results from Bellou, Rowett is officially crowned French Women’s Enduro Champion 2025—a remarkable achievement in her first year competing in the series.
