All the Italian top riders will line up on the scratch at the La Thuile Enduro and we are pretty sure that many other racers of the Enduro World Series will pin the date in Their diary. This is the best chance to keep fit one week before the French round of the EWS of Samoens, only 100 km away. The race of La Thuile will take place over two days (‘weekend formula’) and it promises to be a truly amazing event, techy and challenging.
