Video: European Enduro Series, Round 3 - Preview

The European Enduro Series continues and on July 25 and 26 the third stop of the tour takes place at beautiful Reschenpass. The “3-Länder Enduro Trails” between Austria, Switzerland and Italy offer everything that fulfills the heart of every enduro shredder. With the participation of the cup holder, Robert Williams (GBR), and the winner of the first stop in Punta Ala, Czech’s Michal Prokop, this promises to be a thrilling third stop of the series.



From the Mediterranean Sea in Punta Ala, Italy, to the glacier trails in Sölden, Austria, the European Enduro Series continues in the border area between these two countries and Switzerland at the scenic mountain lake Reschen. For the second time the “3-Länder Enduro Race” is part of the series and as it was a spectacular race in the previous year with long and challenging stages, something similar can be expected this year.

Last year Jerome Clementz won the EES at Reschenpass.

The area around Lake Reschen is a mecca for enduro bikers of every level. Within the “3-Länder Enduro Trails” project more trails are being built and all shredders will totally get their money's worth. The towns of Nauders, St. Valentin, Reschen and Graun cooperate to create a transboundary trail network in the beautiful landscape of Lake Reschen. The European enduro elite will put the area to the acid test on July 26.

Since the first race of the season in Punta Ala, Italy, was spectacular and a great success, and everybody is curious what to expect from the race in Sölden, participants can rely on the high quality standards of the series at stop #3 and expectations are high for the race in the gorgeous tri-border region. The racetrack will lead the participants through all three countries, four gondolas and six stages with a total length of 18 km. The racers have to climb 1500 meters in altitude and race about an altitude of 3000 meters down to the lake.

The winner of the first EES stop 2015, Michal Prokop, has already confirmed his participation. However, his competitors will try hard to hit him on the break.

With the participation of the likes of Fabian Scholz (GER), James Shirley (GBR), Benni Purner (AUT) and Monika Büchi from Switzerland it is absolutely going to be a tough and spectacular race in an enchanting landscape.
