Enduro Fantasy Trivia Round 1 Winner Announced + Answers to All 14 Questions
While the Enduro World Series is 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.
Over 10,000 of you participated in the first round of trivia. We, unfortunately, had to scratch one of the questions due to an error, but we had an impressive 140 people get all 14 remaining questions right. In the draw, it was @hambone2585 that came away with first place and a Shimano XT drivetrain while @stratum came in second, taking the Shimano XT Brakeset, @Kerki taking third place in the draw for a Shimano PRO Cockpit and @rosithedog coming away with the final Round 1 prize of a Lazer helmet. Congratulations @hambone2585, @stratum, @Kerki and @rosithedog. See how YOU did in the standings by clicking here.

Jokes aside, I had coffee selected as my answer for the longest time until I picked up on rapanui like 2 days before it closed. I assumed the produce was in the bag on 2nd place in this www.pinkbike.com/photo/13340849 photo, which I thought was most likely a bag of coffee.

If the question hadn’t said “elite” I’d buy your argument. But since “elite” was removed several years ago, it was reasonable for those of us that knew that “elite” wasn’t the name for the pro class anymore to believe that the question was specifically asking about “elite” races

Florencia Espinera, Lo Barnachea 2018
You said it was 6th. @pinkbikestaff
But in the 2018 EWS Barnachea race Florencia raced in the Pro Women's category, not the Elite category (which disappeared in 2015). The correct answer should be 19th place, as the question specifically asked about the "Elite" Cateogry...
Anyway, yeah, it means the main category here, but it's a bit up to interpretation when there was "elite" category for some time
If they only meant elite category the correct answer would be 15th, and not 19th. which was not in the answer key. That's why 6th was more logical to me.
