Today, Saturday, August 6 started the long weekend of the forth PRO race of the Superenduro powered by Sram circuit, which will have its peak tomorrow with the mass start of the Vibram Enduro Trophy of Nations from Rocce Nere above 2000 meters.
At the end of the day all the national teams took part at the official cerimony with the applause of the audience and the flashes of press.
After the first 5 chrono stages under the command of the provisional standings is Frenchman Jerome Clementz, team France 1, followed by Andrea Bruno, team Italia 1, while third is placed Nicolas Lau, team France 3.
Fourth is the Swiss Florian Goley and sixth Alex Stock directly from England, for a total of four different countries within the first 5 positions reflecting the fact that the Enduro is a discipline practiced at a high level and widespread throughout all Europe.
The tracks are really exciting, and qualifying them as challenging is an understatement. If transefers is what usually scares most the rides, this time is the length of the chrono stages that has put them in difficulty. Between gasps, heavy and unresponsive driving, flat tires and technical problems of any kind, the atmosphere along the stages was anything but relaxed.
But at the end of the tracks behind the tired faces of the bikers, there is the satisfaction and the knowledge to participate at a unique race still all to play, with tomorrow 2 chrono stages followed by the national teams round.
Here some pictures of the day.
