The World Enduro Series Round 1 has kicked off here in Punta Ala, Italy and so far it's been a great week. Punta Ala is the kind of places where all bike races should be held, stunning sun shine (most of the time), top class trails, amazing beaches, great Italian food, and at an event like this all the time on the bike you could want. With the rocky tracks and long transfer routes between stages there are some interesting choices for gear. The trails here are rocky, dry and physical, but the riders are loving it.
