On July 25 and 26 the third stop of the European Enduro Series continues in beautiful Reschenpass. Today was the mandatory training and the riders were stoked with the impressive stages and the weather.

Markus Reiser from Germany gives his word: “Tomorrow will be a tough but fun race, which will be decided on every stage. There is no stage where you can just roll through.” Between the three countries Austria, Switzerland and Italy the riders will pedal their heart out in six challenging stages with a view. The all-time favorites of the Elite class Robert Williams (GBR), Michal Prokop (CZE) and Markus Reiser (GER) will promise a great race and also girls like Monika Büchi (SUI), Sandra Börner (GER) and Lisa Policzka (GER) will give their best and shred the “3-Länder Enduro Race”.
