Berni, actually a full-time pro downhiller, took the win at the Catalonian Enduro Championship. This year he’s on fire after having signed with the new Intense-GoPro team.

Fast, technical and lots of flow – the region around Riudarenes has some amazing trails to offer. Carles Barcons (Masters) is definitely a man to watch. Hopefully we’ll see him race in central Europe this year!
