7 idp Enduro Series Round 2 - Val d Allos


Tribe 10,000 is one of those quite few races whose entries are sold out in the early hours of the registration opening. And some of the best French enduro riders were in Val d’Allos this week-end to celebrate its 12th edition. For the first time the weather was not so good and despite a violent storm on Sunday morning the event organizers did their best and to keep the race going and managed to cancel only one timed run.

So the riders could enjoy a really brand new stage from the Autapie Summit. This previously unseen stage was designed by Sylvain Barbotin, cleverly traced by Alex Balaud and made ultra technical through the heavy rain.

Florian Nicolaï, outrageously dominant during the first rounds in Blausasc, did perform slightly less well only winning Saturday’s round and the overall of the weekend and left Sunday’s victory to his team mate Alex Cure, who was really unlucky on Saturday with one puncture and 2 big crashes.

Therefore Florian faced only 2 serious challengers, Théo Galy and Yoann Barelli, who fought bravely until the last timed run for the second place of the week-end. Finally Théo won out over Yoann. Alex Cure finished 4th and Jordan Regnier 5th overall.

In the Master’s race Yannick Senechal’s consistency put him on the top step, flanked by Gilles Doze and Stéphane Valverde.

There were huge struggles and a high level among the Juniors with Sebastien Claquin ahead of Lucas Monetti and Eliott Trabac.

Once again Tribe 10000 earnt its reputation. This classic keeps on breeding the best enduro riders in the world through its marvelous and demanding tracks.

A big thank to the volunteers and to Val d’Allos Animation who took care of the tasty feed points and of the traditional paella and the live concert on Saturday night.
