We are excited to announce the launch of Fantasy Enduro. Pick your dream Enduro World Series team and you could be in the running to walk home with the Grand Prize.
Get ready to show your skills for picking winners, at all 8 rounds of the 2022 Enduro World Series. With a fictional budget of $1.5 million you will choose your ultimate team of 6 riders (4 men, 2 women) and go to battle in the Fantasy Enduro League. Each round you can make changes to your team and you can be apart of 2 mini-leagues and compete against your friends. Each race round will have feature prizing for the overall Top Team of the round and then at the end of all 8 races we crown the overall Fantasy Enduro Champion and present the Grand prize of a complete bike!

Grand Prize
Season Overall
For the grand prize awarded at the end of the season, Maxxis teamed up with Ibis to kick start your enduro career! Ibis is providing their Ripmo AF with a NGX build and Maxxis will make sure your first couple seasons of racing go smoothly with 24 tires of your choice in addition to a boat load of team Maxxis swag!
Round PrizeRound 1: Tweed Valley For this first round, one lucky winner will receive three sets of
Maxxis tires, including
two Assegais,
two Shortys and
two Dissectors along with some
swag to keep you looking fresh on your way to the trails. Designed by the GOAT, Greg Minnaar, the
Assegai has quickly gained a reputation as the grippiest tire in Maxxis’ line. It’s the go-to front tire for the gnarliest conditions. The knob layout on the Shorty has been altered to improve wet traction, cornering performance, and mud shedding abilities, while the Dissector seeks to minimize drag while retaining cornering control.
IMPORTANT: To maximize your chances to win the Grand Prize, we recommend you have your team created by
June 3, 2022. You will want to maximize your points score and have your team present for all races. Teams created at a time after races have previously occurred earlier will not be eligible to backlog points that riders would have accrued from previous races.

Good luck!
I misunderstood this as well- the countdown is to the first EWS race. The deadline to create teams was a couple of weeks ago. However, you can still create your own team for fun, just no prizes from Pinkbike. We could create an alternative fantasy league, eh?
To my eye, the unreasonably expensive riders are either previous top riders or have big social media followings. Basically they are traps for casual players who pick people they’ve heard of and don’t really follow the sport. I consider that a feature, not a bug.

The team creation deadline was then. The timer is counting down to the first actual race...
