Fabien Barel and Tracy Moseley win the historic opening event of the Enduro World Series!

The racing in Punta Ala for the inaugural 2013 Enduro World Series was as hot as a hot thing. Italian coffee hot! Veramente Caldo!

Last nights rain cleared off and the sunshine began dusting up the Punta Ala trails nicely.

After four gruelling stages (initially five but forecasted bad weather meant stage two got the chop) Fabien Barel emerged as the first ever winner of an Enduro World Series event!

1/ Fabien Barel
2/ Jerome Clementz
3/ Jared Graves
4/ Martin Maes
5/ Dan Atherton

What a top five that is! A right mix of DH/4x/enduro riders. Youth and experience rubbing shoulders, hats off to 16yr old Martin Maes, what a ride!

Sam Blenkinsop is up there in 7th (he won the Dirt Monduro a while back so we new he could do it!)

Joe Dude Barnes getting it done in 9th!
