The Pro Series comes to the penultimate round with what promises to be a really exciting step for the full program of events and activities, but especially for the beautiful location (the most southern of the entire circuit) in which the special stages go through.
It will be Tuscany and in particular Punta Ala (GR) to host the fourth stage of the circuit PRO the 25th and 26th of September. The Superenduro moves away from the regions that are the heart of the discipline, offering the opportunity for participants to discover new places and enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the Maremma coast and the paths of the Bandit Bike Park accross foothills routes in wild woods galleries of thick mediterranean vegetation in which runs single tracks of varying difficulty.

The race weekend will start this time since Friday night around 18:00, when participants will have a welcome apres bike RistoranteBar in the beautiful structure that will be the nerve center of the eventl: PuntAla Camping Resort, a four star hotel overlooking the sea, right next to the beautiful beach of Cala Violina.
Saturday will start the prologue (16.00). The path will remain a secret until minutes before departure, so giving riders to pull out all their skills of intuition and interpretation of the track.
In the evening is expected the après bike (18:00) and subsequently a rock concert inside the paddock.
Sunday’s departure is scheduled in the morning at 9.30 am, the right time to face a busy day like you would expect from a PRO. And this stage of Punta Ala, will certainly not be least, both for the fabulous trails cleaned up by the excellent local organization of ASD Banish Bike Park with support PuntaAla Camping Resort, both for the hard transfers.
The total ride is about 45 km to 1300 meters in altitude, with several tears on the steep ascents which will test our bikers. In addition, the 4 special stages will be rather tough and physical, especially the PS2 is very technical, with some pedal sections uphill. This special stage will probably make the difference in the race, mainly because the yield will require perseverance: a little error will immediately make you loose precious seconds for the ranking!

After the course participants will face the last transfer this time downhill, very useful for cooling down and dispose of the race, to return to the start / finish area where who wants can get a refreshing dip in the sea .
Alongside the competition is also expected a Dirt Jump contest that will enliven the paddock and give way to spectators and companions to take a break from their long day relaxing on the beach.
So it seems that this weekend has all the ingredients to create an explosive race that you will certainly don’t want to miss!
