2016 French Enduro Series, Round Two - Val d'Allos Race Day

Jun 25, 2016
by Jan Volbracht  




The second round of the French Enduro Series is in the bag. And we have some winners. The men’s race was a head-to-head battle between Florian Nicolaï and Alexandre Cure. Cure was the fastest rider in three out of four stages, but Florian Nicolaï won stage three by five seconds and was able to steal the overall victory from his teammate by 0.2 seconds.

Morgane Such crashed hard during the 3rd stage and broke her front brake. But that didn't stop her from winning the women’s race ahead of Julie Duvert and Axelle Murigneux. Théotim Trabac sent Valentin Brulas and Timothé Gouiran to 2nd and 3rd in the battle in the junior race.

The men's E-bike competition was between Adrien Dailly and Olivier Giordanengo with Adrien coming out on top and Sabrina Jonnier was the fastest between the yellow tape in the E-bike category for the women. Thank you for this great weekend of racing Val d’Allos!

 I was all excited to read the results until I came across the e-bike category. Give me a freaking break! I get that some people have a 'need' for ebikes, but keep them away from serious competition events. Either have them the day after an enduro race day is over, or have them included as part of the event as a fun category with a theme and costumes. e-bikes, wow. Next thing you know people will be playing quidditch for real.

 "Hate it or love it - pedaling was part of the game today." I am pretty sure the e-bikers did not mind it Wink
