Round 2 of the Bluegrass Enduro Tour International 2013 Mollau - Alsace

The second round of the Bluegrass Enduro Tour International took place in France in the village of Mollau, last week-end. Two days of fantastic riding with a total of 7 timed stages specially designed by the "Dahus", the local bicycle club.  

Saturday, June 8, 2013:

In a real summer day the riders rode the first four timed stages of the Bluegrass Enduro Tour Mollau. At the end of day 01 Nicolas LAU was leading with a total time of 21', 16 seconds ahead of Ben CRUZ. 

But the Bluegrass Enduro Tour is not only about riding great trails, the organization had planned a live concert and a boar on the spit party (6 boars devoured in total!) on Saturday night to share a great evening all together. 

 

Sunday, June 9, 2013:

After some severe storm during the night, the trails were a bit slippery but all riders enjoyed the last three stages. During the last stage, Nicolas LAU got a flat tire but still managed to keep his lead. Irony of Fate, Ben Cruz got a flat in the very same stage but lost more time than Lau to finish only seventh overall. Eliott TRABAC, best among the juniors, finished 2nd overall with Quentin LEPINE 3rd. 

 

In the ladies's trace, Claire HASSENFRATZ confirmed her leadership in the ranking of the series and won 37 seconds ahead of Fanny Amann with Marion POZZI 3rd. 

Next stage of the Bluegrass Enduro Tour International in Scotland - Kinlochleven - 15/16 June.

RESULTS

2013 Bluegrass Enduro Tour

Hannah Barnes, Jérome Clementz and Alex Lupato will be among the riders opening the international enduro season at round #01 of the Bluegrass Enduro Tour in Castelbuono - Sicily - next week-end.
The race is a two day event with a prologue in the streets of Castelbuono on Saturday and three long timed stages raced in the Madonie mountains around Castelbuono on Sunday.

 
What Hannah said:
I am really excited to be going to Castelbuono for the first round of the Bluegrass Enduro Tour. It will be awesome to be racing on a beautiful island and catching up with old friends. I can't wait to ride the trails and get back into the racing spirit after a cold winter tucked away in the Fort William woods. It's going to be a shock to the system to be racing again, but I can't wait! See you there.

About the Bluegrass Enduro Series
Born 4 years ago on the slopes of the French Vosges mountains the format of our MTB Enduro series follows similar lines to the motorcycle type enduro. The event takes the form of riding a route interspersed by timed stages. The Bluegrass Enduro Tour is raced in four different countries in 2013. The success of the Bluegrass Enduro Tour is to be found in its uncompromised values, a mix of fantastic trails and great atmosphere.
