[Updated with Overall Standings] Final Results from the Maydena Enduro World Cup 2023
The results are in from the first round of the 2023 Enduro World Cup at Maydena Bike Park.
In the Elite Women's race it looked to be a fight between 2022 EWS Champ Isabeau Courdurier and the DH World Champion Vali Höll but a stage five crash would take the Austrian racer out of contention for the win, although she would still manage to secure 10th place. Following almost 10 seconds behind Isabeau was 2022 EWS runner-up Morgane Charre who looks to be kicking things off in 2023 on strong form. Wrapping up the top three is Ella Conolly who managed to stay consistent across the six stages and secure a great start to the season.
The Men's racing saw an Australian domination as all three podium spots went to riders at their home race. Standing on the top step is Luke Meier-Smith who managed to take the win not only at his first Elite Enduro race but also at his first big race with his new Giant team. Following close behind were Dan Booker and Connor Fearon who mastered the trails and conditions to stay at the sharp end of the racing throughout the day. The only non-Australian rider in the top six was Rhys Verner who broke up the party with a fourth place finish.
After a big day of racing check out the results below.
We have not been able to find the overall standings from the opening round of the Enduro World Cup but as we believe there a now additional points awarded for each stage we have tried to figure out the top 10 U21 riders and the top 20 Elite riders. We will update this when we can find the official standings.
From looking through the race results we have found that the U21 Women's race positions stay the same with the U21 Men being slightly shaken up as Harvey Lee moves to 7th and Jack Peircy from 6th to 5th. The Elite Women's results see Vali Höll jump from her 10th place to 7th as she scores 269 points after taking some stage wins.
In the Elite Men's racing, there is a small shakeup of the results between 10th and 20th as Jesse Melamed improves upon his 19th to end the weekend in 11th with 204 points. Remi Gauvin also sees a bump as he goes from 15th to 14th.

16:50 PDT Gloria Scarsi goes third, 13.690 seconds behind the DH World Champion.
16:51 PDT Raphaela Richter makes it into fifth 17 seconds back with the newly crowned NZ Enduro Champ Rae Morrison in sixth.
16:53 PDT Ella Conolly takes second place so far as she goes across the line 1.36 back. Vali's time is still holding with four riders left.

Elite Men:
16:59 PDT As we switch over to the Elite Men it is currently Ryan Gilchrist leading with Alex Storr in second and Corey Watson third.
17:04 PDT After Vali Höll's great performance on stage one Troy Brosnan is looking for his own Enduro success as he goes fastest with Connor Fearon slotting two seconds back in 2nd.

17:11 PDT It's now an Australian top five as Dan Booker takes the lead and better Luke's run by over a second. Both Dan and Luke are riders to watch today as we expect some great results from them.
17:17 PDT Rhys Verner is the first rider to break up the Australian domination as he takes fourth place so far.
17:18 PDT Jack Moir does not have the start to the day he would have wanted going 22nd so far. Jack is still recovering from a hand injury so he may not be at the sharp end of things this weekend.
17:19 PDT Richie Rude can only manage third on stage one and Jesse Melamed takes fourth meaning its an amazing stage one for Dan Booker as he takes the win.

Overall Standings:
We have not been able to find the overall standings from the opening round of the Enduro World Cup but as we believe there a now additional points awarded for each stage we have tried to figure out the top 10 U21 riders and the top 20 Elite riders.

From looking through the race results we have found that the U21 Women's race positions stay the same with the U21 Men being slightly shaken up as Harvey Lee moves to 7th and Jack Peircy from 6th to 5th. The Elite Women's results see Vali Höll jump from her 10th place to 7th as she scores 269 points after taking some stage wins.
In the Elite Men's racing, there is a small shakeup of the results between 10th and 20th as Jesse Melamed improves upon his 19th to end the weekend in 11th with 204 points. Remi Gauvin also sees a bump as he goes from 15th to 14th.

16:49 PDT Florencia Espineira just makes it into the top five so far, although there is currently a 24-second gap splitting the podium positions.
16:50 PDT Gloria Scarsi goes third, 13.690 seconds behind the DH World Champion.
16:51 PDT Raphaela Richter makes it into fifth 17 seconds back with the newly crowned NZ Enduro Champ Rae Morrison in sixth.
16:53 PDT Ella Conolly takes second place so far as she goes across the line 1.36 back. Vali's time is still holding with four riders left.
16:54 PDT Bex Baraona already has a few wins in her pocket this year and goes into fourth so far on stage one.
16:54 PDT Hattie Harnden had a great 2022 season and goes into fifth so far as Morgane Charre falls just short of Vali Höll's time.
16:55 PDT Isabeau Courdurier denies Vali Höll the stage win as she goes three seconds up and into first. Isabeau looks to be continuing where she left off in 2022.
Elite Men:
16:59 PDT As we switch over to the Elite Men it is currently Ryan Gilchrist leading with Alex Storr in second and Corey Watson third.
17:04 PDT After Vali Höll's great performance on stage one Troy Brosnan is looking for his own Enduro success as he goes fastest with Connor Fearon slotting two seconds back in 2nd.
17:08 PDT Luke Meier-Smith is already up to speed on his new Giant and his first taste of Elite Enduro racing as he smashes Troy's time to take the lead, four seconds up.
17:11 PDT It's now an Australian top five as Dan Booker takes the lead and better Luke's run by over a second. Both Dan and Luke are riders to watch today as we expect some great results from them.
17:17 PDT Rhys Verner is the first rider to break up the Australian domination as he takes fourth place so far.
17:18 PDT Jack Moir does not have the start to the day he would have wanted going 22nd so far. Jack is still recovering from a hand injury so he may not be at the sharp end of things this weekend.
17:19 PDT Richie Rude can only manage third on stage one and Jesse Melamed takes fourth meaning its an amazing stage one for Dan Booker as he takes the win.

22:49 PDT It's 15th place for Richie Rude with only Connor Fearon, Dan Booker and Luke Meier-Smith left.
22:50 PDT One second up and into the lead for Connor Fearon.
22:51 PDT The times keep tumbling as it's now Dan Booker who takes the lead. Can Luke Meier-Smith make it an Australian top four?
22:52 PDT Wow another stage win for Luke Meier-Smith as he beats Dan Booker by just 0.02 on a ten-minute stage.

You are not special.
You don't know something the sheeple don't know.
You are deluding yourself to make yourself feel like you have some special insight that makes your otherwise boring and insignificant life meaningful.
Save your bitching for the DH and XC which yeah the ESO need to prove to us all that they can produce something equal to or better than Red Bull...
Off to bed.
Red Bull could barely even cover 4-5min downhill courses, and that was with a giant budget...
But I will still stand for science, truth, and fairness. What is so terrifying about a comment that it has to be deleted? "If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth"
A woman is not defined by testosterone levels alone. Just because an athlete meets the qualifications for a single measure of hormonal levels doesn't mean the rules are fair, based in science, nor "inclusive".
People should be treated with kindness and respect, but the fact is pro women have a difficult road ahead navigating exactly the kind of comments you’ve posted in response.

Local who turns harder than most.
Also, if anybody knows the name of the song, feel free to share
@ FuTAnT: holy crap!
wouldnt surprise me if she was because the slash is to big, common to see riders on smaller bikes now because alot of enduro bikes are just to big.
Trails don't look that rough, lots of turns, pumping and small gaps. I'm sure whatever she's riding it's heavily customized for her.
IMO the new slash will be similar to the fuel

biking could follow this ?
Great race.
Tandy electrics for live timing could do with a refresh.
Maybe some, I dont know, LIVE VISION?
@MikeKazimer @BrianPark @MikeLevy
Could you be so kind as to get the message to UCI and feedback to us what they say, there is only 6 races to go
Maybe unleash Henry onto them
Any thoughts or suggestions?
The worlds worst promoted sport.
Lots of Gopro's with wifi modules and using live stream on them... initial setup takes the longest but would work with a limited media crew...
Theres ALOT of camera options and modules to livestream cycling events, especially onboard DH as its fully course controlled. they are not even expensive if they use a Private network around the tracks.
this is purely "lack of" because they can get away with it.

Most people in the current world struggle to have enough concentration to watch a 10 second instragram clip end-to-end.
Hot tip... check out the size of Australia versus Europe to give you an idea of the distances involved over here.
Maybe we're just good at riding bikes?
P. S. It's not a 'problem' unique to enduro or any sport for that matter. There's a reason the home side in team sports wins more often...
2. Aussies are fast, as another bloke pointed out. We are easily the most successful country in the men's category in EWS history.
3. Luke Meier-Smith won the EWS overall in U21's last year. So it shouldn't be a surprise to you that he is fast! He is also Aussie national DH champ this year.
4. The only advantage the Aussie (and Kiwi) riders would have at this event is the seasonal impact. It's obviously very early season for the Northern Hemisphere riders who for many can't do a lot of riding volume due to snow etc thru Winter. Where as the Aussies and Kiwis and in the tail end of the Summer race season and more likely in peak condition.
