Two of the main Mavic sponsored riders dominate the first stage of the Enduro World Series which took place in Nevados de Chillan, Chile. Namely Jerome Clementz, riding the new Cannodale Jekyll 27,5 ″, and Anne Caroline Chausson, with the Ibis Mojo HDR.
The 1st stage of the Enduro World Series took place in Chile and saw many of the best top riders at the start. Also at the start 3 Italians: Alex Lupato (FRM Factory Team) and the couple Manuel Ducci / Valentina Macheda (Ibis Life Cycle). The race saw a Jared Graves in super shape on day 1 who put everyone behind with his Yeti 26 ″. But then on Day 2 Jerome Clementz dared a little more and managed to recover by starting the season as he had finished it: winning! In 2nd place Graves and in 3rd Florian Nicolai, a young man we will hear about. Speaking of young people, Martin Maes was placed in 4th place, just 19 years old in the 1st year in the OPEN category! The 2 Italians Ducci and Lupato end up practically flat with Alex Lupato in 32nd place followed by Manuel Ducci in 33rd.
In the female category domination of Anne Caroline Chausson who put behind the former DH world champion Tracy Moseley while in 3rd place we find Cecile Ravanel. Valentina Macheda concludes in 16th place.
We leave you with a video dedicated to DAY 1, some photos and another video of the "diary" that Jerome Clementz will keep throughout the year.
