La Thuile Enduro: the course inspections have been done, tomorrow is racing time

At La Thuile two training days have already gone and it is time now to start focussing on the race, the fourth round of the Enduro World Series, which will kick off tomorrow morning at 8:45. The last couple of days spent inspecting the course terrain have been intense, as the weather has showed the riders all its possible facets. From the storm of snow and cold winds of yesterday to the sunshine of today. This has given everyone the chance of testing the course terrain under all possible conditions, which is something very important in the race prep, from a technical and physical perspective but, most of all, mental.

The trails of La Thuile have made riders from all over the world fall in love with the variety of the rides and with the unique surroundings of the high sections. The organizing staff decided to create the course only on wild trails in order to keep alive the true spirit of mountain-biking: spot-on, this has been a very appreciated choice. The riders have given very positive feedback and they cannot wait for tomorrow morning to ride SuperKappa, which is the first PS of the day and the longest PS in the history of the Italian Enduro.

At this stage La Thuile is at the center of the mountain-bike universe, with more than fifty journalists who have reached La Thuile from all over the world and, after yesterday inspection, are now putting together lots of info to promote the trails of the Aosta Valley.

The race start has changed with respect to the initial plan and is now scheduled for 8:45. The ladies will be the first to drop down from the start-line stage. HERE you can have a look at the starting list.

During the first day of the race weekend, three Special Stages will take place and they will finish around 17:00.

Here for you an interview to Enrico Guala, who gives us a little overview of the two days of the busy weekend at La Thuile.
