Despite a recent shoulder injury, Benjamín Herrera clinched victory at the seventh round of the FIM National Enduro Championship Chile 2026. The event took place last Saturday at Parque Las Palmas in the Valparaíso Region.

Herrera, competing with significant pain, completed four laps to earn crucial points in the season's final stretch. His determination allowed him to overcome physical limitations and secure the top spot on the podium.

However, the effort proved too taxing. By the eighth round held on Sunday, Herrera's shoulder pain had worsened considerably, making it difficult for him to maintain control of his motorcycle. He made the decision to withdraw from the competition to prioritize his recovery.

Herrera is now dedicating the coming weeks to rehabilitation. He aims to be back in action for the fifth round of the Sprint Cup, scheduled for August 22 in Til Til.
