[UPDATED] Overall Standings & Final Results from the Pietra Ligure Enduro World Cup 2023

Jun 5, 2023
by Ed Spratt  
After a two-month break we are back with the third round of the 2023 Enduro World Cup as riders took on six stages across 56km and 3105 meters of descending in the Finale Outdoor Region.

In the Elite Women's race, it was Morgane Charre who kicked off the day with back-to-back stage wins before laying down consistent stage performances to hold her overall lead through the six stages and end the day over 13 seconds ahead. Reigning 2022 EWS champ Isabeau Courdurier would go head to head with Gloria Scarsi in the battle for 2nd place, but it would be the Italian racer who edged three seconds ahead to secure 2nd.

The Men's racing saw the Canadian pair of Jesse Melamed and Rhys Verner take control of the racing as they took two stage wins each in the battle for the top position. Alex Rudeau did his best to break up the pair but he would have to settle for 3rd place, six seconds back from the leader. Previous series leader Richie Rude had a big crash early in the race and did his best to not lose too many overall points as he ended a tough day in eighth.

After a flat-out day of racing check out the results below.

 Unpopular opinion. I really really struggle to have any interest in Enduro. I bet it's nice to compete in, probably good to watch a stage, but like rallying, you never know the big picture as a spectator, so it's hard to frame the riders and how they are doing until the end. It's really not a spectator sport. With DC and even XC you have a set start and end point. In XC wheel to wheel racing, in DH against the clock - at all times you know the status of the race etc and can be engaged.

 Yep. I want to follow it but it pretty much does nothing for me as a format.

 The format has to change if this sport is going to grow.
Perhaps events can consist of a single uphill and downhill section, which can be traversed repeatedly. That way there's the possibility of setting up sufficient cameras to keep tabs on the unfolding drama. Apparently spectators/viewers can stomach XC riders covering the same territory five, six or seven times. Why not enduro?
I'm sure there will be plenty of bleating about such heretical ideas, but the sport is doomed to irrelevance unless something changes.

 1. Cameras could be put in places, that would only be more expensive (more cameras and filmers) or more complicated logistics-wise (transporting cameras from stage to stage).

2. After stage 1 time can be added up live to always give a picture of how current rider (the one you see on screen) is competing so far.

3. Top 3/5/10 (pick your number) riders could be additionally filmed with drones.


I don’t see any impossible challemega to make Enduro look spectacular on screen, more like a lack of commitment… Or vision. Because the sport itself is about people riding fast their cool bikes on gnarly/technical terrain.

 They could have one stage, with a chairlift to get to the top. There could be a semi-drunk commentator saying daft shit, and you could watch it for free.

 It is if you follow the UCI live timming the whole day and woud be some live interviews to to main riders just after each stage just to see who is on and off . can´t believe it can´t be done...

 Also having a live last stage where riders would start 1 by 1 with the order and the gaps of the current GC you would have a living GC like a mass start displayed... get some heli and drones and here you have something really apealing... Plus the french did it a long time ago with the Endures Terres roiges I think... and good show...

 @Marc2211 oh it's definitely the popular opinion...it's fun to know enduro exists, fun to compete in them, but no one really has the energy to follow it and create heroes.
  • 17 0
 Different opinion. I don't need to see live action to find enduro as an engaging, exciting sport with amazingly talented athletes. The soul of enduro is that it is a People's Sport. These athlete are doing the same type of riding, on the same bikes as us tyros, albeit on an otherworldly level. I don't need the sport to grow or to morph into some stupid format. I want to feel connected to a sports I can relate to like enduro and moto enduro and don't need for them to be on tv to appreciate them and the athletes that compete
  • 6 9
 Completely agree, it isn’t engaging at all. Plus, remember when DH tracks with a ton of pedaling were just considered to be shit? Take a shit DH track, race it with single crown forks, make the riders pedal to the top, get Johnny in marketing to rebrand it “enduro” and suddenly it’s the best thing ever.

 @danstonQ: the live broadcast of DH world cups has been spectator friendly though. Same can’t be said for enduro.
  • 1 2
 I just wish the total race time was much longer. ~30 minutes is not "enduro". It's several DH runs. Perhaps at least 1 stage with timing from the bottom back to the bottom.

At least it's not gravel! That's got to be the worst spectator sport ever. For sure, awesome for participants, just not for those watching.

 @Muscovir: one way or the other, there are plenty of places where you could at least have stages of 5min an more, instead the ENDURO nationals had stage times as low as 48s or so. There 2 min stages (they take me about 3mins, so i guess 2 for the best might be accurate) at my local hill with a vertical distance of 80m. It's a pity.

 The future of Canadian racers! Along with others, including Ho Wei Tien in the men's juniors who did quite well except for one stage and 1:00 minute penalty. I wonder if he fell off the trail and forgot to hike back up to where he exited.
Good to see Jesse Melamed isn't the lone Canadian that's a force to reckon with on the circuit.

 Are the racers climbing the full 2070m, or is part of that shuttled? If so that's a massive day of racing. Id like it if uci/ews made the stats more transparent and specific than just the route stats. Idk about other people but I am interested in how much climbing and distance the riders have to pedal in each race.
  • 1 0
 There's a note above that says, " 56km / 3105m descent / 2070m climb (Riders will have a shuttle to help them around part of the course.)", so I guess they pedaled 2070m and shuttled the rest.
  • 1 0
 I did read somewhere that's a total of over 50km or riding too. That's such a massive day of riding - I can't imagine all out at the end of such a day.

 Richie seems to be the only American to even finish the race. I love the Canadian podium, but until the USA shows up it’ll be hard for the sport to reach its potential.

 The sport has already reached its potential. Without decent TV coverage it's always going to be niche - and decent TV coverage is next to impossible

 Not sure why you’re getting down voted. You have a valid point. I agree, but see this as a much more systemic issue in the USA. Cycling in general is just a “Hobby” sport in allot of people’s eyes same as skiing. Heck It’s taken years for soccer to get to the point it’s at now in the USA. For Enduro or any cycling to grow you need a “lance armstrong” and the media machine behind it with advertising and coverage. Most people who are non bikers in the USA don’t even know there is racing. Most of the riders I ride with don’t follow any racing formats.

 It is a lot to ask in 2023 a link to full results for each stage? Why hidding all that info if it´s available?? Can´t believe I am asking for this..

 The LIve Timing interface is actually really good on the UCI site. I just went straight there instead. You can search by rider name and flip in between stages and such. It's well done.

You have to choose your category in top right from the dropdown, then it will give you results.

 I think it's a bit confusing now as there's the UCI website and the UCI MTB world series website, with both having sections for results and live timing and whatnot, but both not having the same information. It took me a while to figure out this could be found on the latter and indeed with great setup, while on the former there's just the XCM with the old format. I currently don't really know what information in general can be found on which site, with the MTB world series offering a bunch of documents and links to "event websites" (being organised by the local venues). Same on social media, I'd like to follow both accounts on Instagram for this reason, but at least now in the beginning the world series account has been spamming new posts so often I'm already losing it.

 @PauRexs: While the race was on I simply went on the MTB world series site and the live timing link was added on the top of the page in red, so in fact it was super easy to find at the time Though it definitely should also be somewhere "permanent" to be found through the menu. And yeah, I too was trying to check out the full results afterwards and for some reason the EDR elite results are still not there. Like said, the two separate websites currently aren't working well together at all, some info being in two places while some info nowhere at all.

 @salespunk: no, it’s just handled horrendously in my opinion. I don’t personally watch it, but look at golf. They have all day events, people all on different parts of the course, and it’s a huge spectator sport. Enduro could have camera crews on different parts of the course, showing us live or close to live runs of the top folks plus a live leaderboard. Currently the zero coverage thing is so annoying.

 I was wondering the same thing. Nothing mentioned on the GTFactoryRacing gram, and I see that she is now riding a commencal with a bunch of new sponsors, so looking like she's now a privateer. Would be interested to know what went on there.
