We simply do not have the words to describe Fabien Barel’s incredible come back on the bike in this very moment. After a very tragic crash in Chile early this season, resulting in a severe spinal injury, the French legend and Canyon Factory Enduro Team rider made the impossible possible and won the final round of the Enduro World Series in Finale Ligure.
