The association "Entreprendre Villes et Quartiers" has awarded a National Award to the Sherco Enduro factory which is located in Nimes (France). This is a national contest and is directed towards those businesses that integrate immigrants and the disadvantaged into the work force. Sherco won out over 130 other businesses that were participating in the contest. The French Minister of the Interior, Nicolas Sarkozy presented the award to Marc Teissier, the Sherco CEO.

With the objective of being completely up to date with the latest technical information about the Sherco Enduro bikes, Malcom Rathmell, the UK Sherco Importer, brought several technicians to the factory for a series of intensive training sessions. The purpose of these sessions is to bring the very latest information to the technicians in order to obtain the maximum satisfaction from the end user. These sessions are held on a regular basis which guarantees that the dealer network is able to offer the best possible service to their customers.

The three official Sherco riders finished near the top of the classification in the largest field ever for the race, Thierry Klutz managed to win a spot on the podium.

A total of 1,075 riders participated in the 8th annual Toni Soler Memorial race, this race is held early each year and is used by many riders as preparation for the coming season. One of the characteristics of this race is that it is always very difficult. In this very difficult race the Sherco name shined very brightly, in that the three official riders finished third, ninth and eleventh. The race is held near the city of Bassella. 30 Km of the race went through an area that was snow covered, this made for a very hard test for the riders and the machines. A great quantity of sticky clay lay under the snow cover which made some sections practically impassable. This area was so difficult that both Thierry Klutz and Michael Vukcevic were in positions to podium. Thierry did manage to finish third behind Xavier Galindo and Arnau Vilanova, but the clay caused a problem with the rear brake on Michaels bike which relegated him to ninth position, just in front of Joan Pedrero who finished 11th. Joan suffered from a bad exit which allowed more than fifty riders to pass him, Joan worked hard and managed to obtain 11th overall.

These results are absolutely fantastic for the men in blue, in one of the hardest races of the season.

The Sherco rider was one of only six riders who managed to complete the difficult Hell's Gate Enduro.

After finishing in second place in the recent enduro race called "The Tough One" Graham signed up to compete in the "Hell's Gate Enduro" on the Sherco 4.5i Enduro. The "Hell's Gate" is one of the most difficult races in the world. The race which is promoted by Fabio Fasola is held in some of the most rugged terrain in the Italian Apennines and is characterized by its abundance of clay, ice, snow and rocks. This terrain becomes a very formidable adversary. The very difficult terrain and the long and difficult night section caused a real fiasco among the participants, so much so that only six riders managed to reach the finish line, among these six finishers was one Graham Jarvis at the controls of the Sherco 4.5i. Graham finished in fifth place surrounded by some of the best Enduro riders in the world. This proves once again that Sherco has designed a solid, reliable bike for competing in the most difficult enduro races in the world. It also shows that Graham has the skills to compete against the best Enduro racers in the world.
