While the Enduro World Series are on pause and the world's top enduro racers stuck at home waiting for the series to get back underway, we've been glued to athletes' social feeds, rewatching event highlight videos, and rereading old tech articles... and many of you are likely doing the same. To put all that Enduro World Series knowledge to use, we're running Fantasy Enduro Trivia while we wait for racing to kick off again.
These trivia quizzes WILL count towards the overall Fantasy Enduro League, so if you're all all-time EWS nerd (or just have a knack for guessing!) you could be the lucky person who wins an Ibis Ripmo V2 with the new 12 speed Shimano XT groupset!
Each trivia round will feature 15 questions and the first one will run 10 days, from
Wednesday June 24th at 10am PST through Sunday, July 5th at 11:59pm PST and will have feature prizing for the overall Top Nerd. Once racing resumes (fingers crossed!), we'll continue with the regular Fantasy Enduro League and combine the points from Fantasy Trivia with Fantasy Enduro for a total of 8 rounds and crown the overall Fantasy Enduro Champion and present the Grand prize of a complete bike!
Sound good? Let's get started. But first, here's what's at stake:

Other than that I'm clueless about where the wrongs could be.
Chocolate should be right, very clear in official highlights video.
I scored 650.
Here are my answers, and my confidence interval for each of them:
1. 2014 (100%)
2. Punta Ala (99%)
3. 2 (100%)
4. Sandy (100%)
5. 19th (70% but I want to argue this one if someone answered differently)
6. Tiger Island (90%)
7. Jersey (100%)
8. Tihi o Tawa (90%)
9. Davide Sottocornola (90%)
10. Greg Minnaar (99%)
11. 15th (90%)
12. Cecile (99%)
13. Shuttling (99%)
14. Coffee (70%)
15. Didn't Carry One (60%)
So this would leave me to believe that its questions 5, 14, and 15 that have the highest likelihood of being wrong. I believe 15 is wrong. Most of the pictures of her bike online are from other races where she didn't have a tube, but i couldn't find any concrete evidence from that specific race.
Q5. Flow came 6th in 2018 EWS #1.
Q14. Chocolate > youtu.be/-f5y-LtqkyA?t=1018
Q15. Top tube > www.pinkbike.com/photo/14596861
So you got 13/15 with what seems to be 3 wrong (sorry) answers to me. Makes me think Pinkbike has stuffed it up.
I also got 650 points.
I do remember once changing an answer and re-saving it, I wonder if that caused an issue.
Wasn’t Flow #6 in the elite category? Didn’t the elite category disappear in 2015ish?
Sorry I mean wasn’t flow #6 in the PRO category? Elite was an old category that disappeared on 2015 or 2016??
1. 2014
2. Punta Ala
3. 2
4. Sandy Shroote
5. 6th
6. tiger Island
7. football jersey
8. Tihi o Tawa
9. Sottorcornola
10. Minnaar
11. 15th
12. Ravanel
13. Shuttling
14. Chocolate
15. Taped to Top Tube
Not sure how the scores are the same. Hopefully they did something wrong, I was pretty sure of my answers...
they had question 5 and the 14 different.
I think they originally had 9th for question 5. but then changed it to 6th before they removed the article.
for the 14th question they had coffee, with a picture to prove it. my guess is because there also was chocolate they removed the 14th question, since there were 2 possible correct answers.
I guess they felt bad for the people who had been shown with 750 points because they are the people who got 1st and 2nd place.
So technically your question should be rephrased as it wasn't his own shoelace originally, it was only one lace instead of two and the colour changed throughout the race (from blue to green). Otherwise, fun question. Keep them going, I can answer anything.
I don't know about you guys but I think if/when they post an update I'll just submit my answers in the comments and ask them to post the answers/explanations in the future.
Pinkbike: WIll my answers save?
For a round or overall? @sarahmoore
