Weapons of Choice – racers and their bikes at the EWS in Finale Ligure

Adrien Dailly – Lapierre Spicy

Adrien, two-time overall EWS winner in the under 21 category, is the shooting star of the 2017 EWS season. His first year in the elite class saw him claim three race wins – more than any other rider this season. At the last race in Finale, he came in at 4th place to secure 2nd overall.
To make it even more agile, Adrien’s Spicey has a slightly shorter rocker link compared to the stock Lapierre Spicy Team Ultimate.
Adrien had a prominent coach at his side throughout the season in the form of French mountain bike legend Nico Vouilloz. Nico helped his apprentice find the perfect setup.
Adrien has a Michelin prototype in 2.5″ mounted on the front and a 2.4” Michelin Wild Enduro at the rear
Adrien removed the pins on his HT T1 pedals
On day 1 in Finale Ligure Adrien still had a chance at the overall win of the 2017 EWS
