Florian Nicolaï is one of the most creative riders on the EWS circuit. His unique style threatens the podium at every race he enters. The Maritime Alps are home to some of the most technical tracks in the world, and working on this project over the winter showed us just how good Flo really is.
“Flo is a weirdly fast alien on a bike. He’s got creative trail vision, and is one of the first riders coming up to have started out as a pure Enduro racer. Even after two strong EWS seasons taking 5th and 4th place overall, you get the feeling he’s hungry for more results. Can’t wait to see how this season unfolds.”— Brian Park,
Rocky Mountain Bicycles “Flo is insane. I don’t understand half the stuff he does, but it’s fun to watch!”— Jesse Melamed, Rally Team teammate
“This part of the world is the birthplace of Enduro. The Maitime Alps have produced some of the best riders on the planet, like Nico Vouilloz, Fabien Barel, Loic Bruni, and many others. The terrain and the culture make the difference—the trails have been here for centuries and were not made to ride, but to walk. So when you can find the flow here you’re a damn good rider.”— Fred Glo, Godfather of Enduro & Owner of Urge bp
Watch for Flo and the rest of our Rally Team throughout the entire Enduro World Series season.
