After Sospel, l’Escarène, the Vesubie valley, Roubion, the Portes du Mercantour and Gourdon, the ninth edition of the Urge 1001 Enduro Tour (enduro championship of Maritime Alps) ended on October 25th at la Brigue, in perfect conditions: sun, 3 awesome special stages prepared with love by the VTT Haute Roya in the pure tradition of french enduro (including fast and flowy lines, technical parts, switchbacks, physical pedaling, bikeparks portions and an urban final on the old streets of la Brigue), colorful forests, smooth sol as we love in autumn, flawless organisation, and 221 riders present to enjoy the last enduro of the season.
