There's just one round remaining of the 2017 Enduro World Series—Finale Ligure. It's been a long season that's offered up a multitude of different conditions, terrain and of course, winners. From the wet and wild first round in New Zealand to the latest smokey and dusty round in Whistler, there's been no end of riders capitalising when it counts, whilst others fall fowl of weather, mechanicals or pure bad luck. It's been a year of change and mixed results that are likely to see a new rider crowned Enduro World Series Champion in the men's field.
But with such a varied year, and each round offering something unique and equally challenging, how do riders use the off-season to prepare for the rigour of such a season? BBC Scotland caught up with Scottish EWS racer, Katy Winton, to find out just that.
