The Englishman from the Atherton team on GT literally dominated the last test at Finale, winning all five stages, leaving nothing to his opponents. Even among the women, the supremacy of Anne Caroline Chausson (Ibis – Sco Dijon) was clear from the first corners; in her first experience in Superenduro she finished with a 3 minute lead over her rivals and even forty-fifth overall!
But this time there wasn't just a race weekend at stake, but an entire circuit and the winners had to be crowned. For the men's category, the winner is Davide Sottocornola, Cicobikes Endura team on Ibis, who already had the victory in his pocket, after a season always at the top, also confirmed by the result of second place here in Finale. Among the women, the title was more hard-fought and in the end it was Maria Federica Zanotto (Trek, team Scavezzon) who won, thanks to the third step of the podium in this last stage.
In the women's race, behind Chausson the Slovenian under 23 world champion Tanja Zakelj (Orbea – Salcano Factory Team) followed by Maria Federica Zanotto (Trek – Scavezzon).
Dan Atherton: “This victory was the fruit of a year of hard work, I am very happy with today's performance and for my first victory on the circuit. Enduro is growing rapidly and I believe that the future of the discipline is in the hands of Superenduro".
Davide Sottocornola: “It was a great season finale for me, I really wanted to do well in the Finale, I'm very satisfied with the day. My efforts were rewarded after a lot of sacrifice, training after work, at the base of everything there is a great passion and the desire to do well".
Curtis Keene: “It was a fantastic day, a wonderful experience, I hope to return next year. Compared to the States the routes are more technical, you need the right components, especially the tyres. Even the ascents are tough, you need to have complete preparation".
