Video: Press Conference with Top Enduro Athletes in Finale Ligure
Ahead of the first round of the Enduro World Cup in Finale Ligure, the UCI assembled a panel to answer questions about the coming race.
Watch Richie Rude, Isabeau Courdurier, and other top racers appear in press conference below.
Rude and Courdurier, are the defending overall champions, and the most decorated riders racing. Though Richie has been famously dipping his toe in the water of downhill racing, he said he couldn't stay away from enduro.
It has been a weird offseason for the sport of enduro, which is in a bit of limbo. Multiple brands closed up their enduro programs and there is some fear about the sport’s future.
The UCI appears to be pushing the electric EDR by holding what used to be a sideshow event alone on Sunday. Though this move is a change from the traditional two-day racing schedule enduro is known for, it does allow riders like Flo Espineira to compete in both the EDR and the e-EDR.
No matter which discipline is held when, it is very exciting to see the return of professional enduro racing. See how to follow the action in BIKE's weekend guide below.
