Enduro World Series Round Four La Thuile is complete. What a weekend, the whole thing was such an eye opener – a really amazing experience. We had such a ball competing and riding in this part of the world, I met so many great people all out for the same thing.
I ended up 85th in Elite men which I was pretty happy with, before the race I thought maybe top 75 would be possible with a good weekend. I really underestimated the amount of people I would have to pass on each stage. Such a huge event and so professionally run with an Italian flavour and flair!
All in all an amazing trip, cant wait to do it again next year. Thanks to Giant Bicycles and everyone else for their support and to Flow for helping me share this experience.
