Summer was hot, dry and sunny... well not anymore! Heading to Austria for the Overmountain challenge, the team faces a hell of a week. But even if we haven't see the sun, Ischgl's area is so amazing that we still rode all week and loved spending time in the mountain there. Racing, coaching, riding, enjoying Austrian lifestyle and gastronomy offered us a nice experience.
In this Episode we also wanted to introduce you, Pauline Dieffenthaler, Team manager, communication and logistic director and athlete. She travels all year with the team, takes care of us, organized everything and race amazingly fast (Standing 6th overall at the EWS and 2nd at Megavalanche 2013). On top of that she loves riding and is not scared of the winter conditions... A big thank to her, because without Paulines half our project couldn't exist.
Jey
On another note, I liked the black and white and Pauline's ride.
Jerome has to be the smoothest rider out there, at least in the Enduro world, AND he's got the top notch xc fitness. His riding reminds me of Stevie Smith, both look like they make their bikes float through the course, effortless. And to do that, you MUST be smooth, technical, precise, and obviously have great handling skills. Cheers Jerome!
TBF, after my quick post I went back and watched several of the earlier 12 months / 12 stories videos where his talents are much more obviously showcased. I guess I should have come back and deleted my original comment but honestly, I still think that THIS video does not do a good job of showcasing JC's skill.
