After just over one month brake after the first race in Trieste (ITA), SloEnduro series held it’s second race of the 2014 season. Riders stopped in Cerkno to find out who did some improvements after Enduro 3 Camini.

It was allready clear before the race that we will get new winners and new leaders in SloEnduro series, since slovenian rider, Vid Peršak (Orbea Geax) and Ana Zupan (Energijateam.com), both winners of the opening race, got injured in the meantime. So Kristjan Medvešček (KK Črn Trn, SLO) and Nina Rupnik (Orbea Geax, SLO) took the leading positions before the race, but neither of them couldn’t manage to step on the winners spot.
