Here we are, the final round of the Enduro World Series is kicking off this weekend in Finale Ligure, just 200 miles away from the very first round of the EWS which was held in Punta Ala.
As the season is now pretty much over it gives us a little chance to reflect on what has happened in the EWS this year. The EWS has had an absolutely fantastic first year, exciting racing, stunning locations, bringing new faces into the lime light, but most of all it has given Enduro racing a World stage.
Unfortunately the series has already been won in both the men’s and women’s categories, by Jerome Clementz and Tracy Moseley, which is a little bit of an anti-climax but I am sure, everyone still wants to take a round win and give us some exciting racing.
Let’s take a closer look at Finale itself, where is it?
Is it just me or do they just pick the most amazing locations in the world…
What is the weather going to be doing this weekend?

Like I said before the series itself has already been won in both women’s and men’s, but there is still going to be excitement, and people trying to make up some positions in the overall, the men’s 3rd and 4th positions are separated by just 35 points, and everyone will be wanting to take the round win too!
