Le statements by Marcello Pesenti, certainly disappointed by the injury a few days afterItalian Enduro of Castel del Rio (BO), they have discussed but also brought to light a hot topic: that is to say the often excessive vans on the competition fields and the special stages chopped by the athletes.
I state that mine is just a review after the dozens and dozens of bitter comments received on our post, nothing against those who passionately organize the races or, in this case, against the organization of the Italians of Castel del Rio. Indeed, without the organizer, there would be no competitions, so "avoglia" to make these speeches.
As mentioned we do not make a bundle of all the grass: many races and circuits are working well (Toscano Enduro in the first place), but the fact remains that there is no coordination in the enduro and if things go well it is often the merit of the individual organizations. who put their own effort into it. The fault, it is bad to say, but often lies with the end users, that is us bikers.
All this fuss was born from this post below by Marcello Pesenti on Instagram, later taken up by Marco Tagliaferri to launch some interesting food for thought.
POST BY MARCELLO PESENTI
PROPOSALS FOR CHANGE
Let's read (and analyze with my personal answer) on many of the comments received at our Facebook post:
Bitter truth 🙂
I agree in the concept. The one of "combed" paths (as Pippo Marani says) is a topic that we often deal with ironically in our videos: bikes are increasingly performing, with generous excursions and geometries, and the tracks are becoming increasingly simpler (just look at many bikes park where we find most of the “marbles friendly” tracks).
It is the problem of every sport or activity, there is no blame for it: at the beginning the genuine climate makes everything more beautiful, there is no escape. Let's say that a solution could be to differentiate the race classes for good: at the moment the minor / regional races are disappearing, those races where the ranking does not interest, you pay little for the registration and you just want to have fun. Now even in regional competitions there is always a tendency to invite the PRO of the day and to try, indirectly, to raise the level and remove the spirit that the regional competition should have. In regional competitions, that climate you are talking about should always be there.
The local will always be the favorite but will only be favored on the home circuit (then in any case a detour in the middle of the PS would be enough and it would send him into crisis 
). So the philosophy of not letting the routes be tested is right, so then at the next race the local would return to his level. And if someone breaks again by saying that the locals are favorites if you keep the routes hidden, the answer is: "we are amateurs, let's have fun! You will beat him the next race… .or in the third time after the race! "
Yes, in my opinion this is one of the key aspects and I fully agree. If you want to try the race and gain 3000m of elevation gain the previous 2 days, go ahead. And here "men" would return to the limelight, the real enduro riders, what we will now call all-mountain athletes 
Back in 2014, when I was small and ungrammatical, I wrote: "The important thing is that this "modus operandi" of the bike shuttles does not enter even the minor races, otherwise it would be a wrong philosophy (see article link).
Enduro is difficult to follow in the media with cameras and TV services. That's all. If you look at the Enduro World Series reports it is a very exciting discipline with athletes of different characteristics compared to XC and DH (we will see how Eurosport will know relaunch next year) and in this context, driving on sight with little evidence is put into practice.
Yes, good reasoning: the secret is to have competent people at the helm of the various sports clubs, circuits or at the top of the Federation, only in this way can reasoned choices be made (easy to say ...)
The famous “cuggino” 😉 The answer resumes a bit what I said in the previous comment.
Davide is the DS who in the past also had Mirko Vendemmia among his ranks.
Here, when it comes to competent people driving, Roberto Ciambrone could be one of them. A nice straightforward and precise examination, however it is not easy to plan a season of competitions abroad for a company that does not live in the north-east. Everyone talks about France but if you don't live in Liguria it's hard. I understand the suggestion very well, in the end those who really want to emerge can make it, “nothing is impossible”, but it would be nice to bring this mentality also in our races thanks to far-sighted organizers. Here is the initial sentence: "The fault, it is bad to say, but often lies with the end users, that is us bikers."
The FCI is often very "tough" in the regulations even in races that may require less rigor (amateur / regional). But that's the way it is, a bit like the bureaucracy in Italy. Completely different treatments should be done for the different competition classes: regional competitions should promote discipline and be much freer to organize, with less taxation for the organizers, in order to avoid relying on bodies of the consultation to run the country race (the country race should not be seen as a minor race, it is the fulcrum for growing passion also in young people and therefore the movement) .
Yes, in some situations the Enduro can take the name of Downhill of Serie B if you allow the athletes to grind a track that is not too difficult in itself in a natural context. Or take away the pedaled aspect (how many times have I heard: "how much pedaled is there in this race?", all in front of a 50m tear). Regarding the classes / ranking you find me completely in agreement, see previous comment.
