The Superenduro celebrates its tenth anniversary with a somewhat special racing calendar: 4 stages from April to September with two important returns at the opening and closing of this 2018 season, which includes the historical path of the circuit, of discovery and growth with the localities and with the riders.
Building a Superenduro race calendar is in itself an adventure that requires a lot of energy, evaluations and planning meetings.
In recent years, we have always tried to give a particular meaning to the calendar as a whole, with a homogeneous distribution of the races on the national territory, choosing locations with unique characteristics and flavor, but at the same time able to describe a path together. , a journey into the discipline of enduro by mountain bike in our beautiful Italy.
Also for 2018, the paths and the quality of the trails are at the center of the evaluations riding, an essential element to raise the bar of fun to the top. However, to celebrate the tenth anniversary, it was necessary to close a weighty trick that was recognizable and attributable to the history of the circuit, capable of reviving emotions even before getting on the saddle and competing.
With a "scrubbata" of the last moment Sanremo and Priero return to the Superenduro calendar flanked by two confirmations Canazei and Calestano!
The last two locations have recently been reached by the Superenduro, the first certainly super known and appreciated internationally, the other recently discovered and almost by chance, but with a great potential just tasted in 2017. the first two locations, on the other hand, these marked the debut and the first steps of the Circuit now way back in 2008 and imagining what it means to go back there to race is something that goes far beyond the simple race.
As usual, two stages will be valid as Enduro World Series Qualification events and this only adds "gunpowder" to already crackling races.
The Superenduro 2018 season will therefore open on April 22 in Sanremo, retracing the paths in the wooded area of San Romolo that in 2008 started the adventure of the Circuit. Much has changed since then but certainly not the characteristic of trails, in full Ligurian style, physical and with a good dose of technicality to deal with, not to mention the organizational contribution of the guys of Sanremo Bike Resort which promises quality and full knowledge of enduro dynamics. .
For the second stage on May 27th, the Superenduro returns to Calestano in the heights of the Parma Apennines, a very central area that still has a lot to give to enduro. The guys from Alpicella Bikepark want to redeem themselves, to let us discover what, due to the adverse weather of the first edition, we were not able to see and are already working on new trails on these that look like gentle hills but hide amazing paths.
On 24 June the circuit moves between the Dolomite peaks in Canazei for the only alpine stage of the season. The goal of the Fassabike organizing committee is to bring home another epic race with a strong international flavor, with a lot of elevation gain and long trails where you can make a difference. The trails here cross very different environments and this translates into a very open race until the last corner.
After Canazei, a July full of important events, not least the first of the two Italian EWS (21-22 July La Thuile, 29-30 September Finale Ligure) which we are sure many of our top Italian riders certainly do not want to miss and why no even a jump to Eurobike for many companies and riders.
After the summer break in August, the Superenduro Circuit will close with a big party on the weekend of 2 September in Priero, another historic location that hasn't been on the calendar for several years. Here the enduro first by motorbike and then by bike is at home to such an extent that the "bike race" itself includes that it is an enduro. Cradle of discipline, Priero from 2007 to today has always organized an enduro race, never skipping a year and this says a lot about the air you breathe in these parts, pure passion.
With the new year we will be back with some other Giants news, so get ready!
Meanwhile, Superenduro wishes everyone happy holidays, see you in 2018!
