Meh, big names from DH have turned up at various enduros and rarely make an impact (possible memories of Blenki doing well at Finale a couple of years ago?)

Are you sure about that?

Most of the ‘big name’ DH guys who have raced at EWS’s tend to do very well, considering. In fact it’s rare they haven’t made an impact. A brief look over the results shows a lot of the superstars end up in the top 20 – not bad seeing as it’s quite a different fitness and riding requirement.

Greg has after all, come 3rd at one…

Racers like to go racing shocker…

Enduro vs DH, its a different discipline and I would say hard to move into when you are “too old” for DH as pedalling ability is pretty important.

Now that being said it would be great to able to keep seeing Steve racing

AFICR Peaty never said he didn’t like Enduro – he thinks it’s great fun, but just doesn’t think it stacks up as a professional sport with a level playing field.

Yeah I think there was a clickbaity headline a little while ago about “Peaty slamming enduro” that was nothing of the sort.

Can someone please point me in the direction of a video of the event?
Checked out Red Bull TV but I can’t find it despite them having all the World Cup rounds available.
Ta.

This is the only one when I looked the other week: http://rbtvwebsite.herokuapp.com/videos/event-stream-744/downhill-finals

Enduro is changing guys and getting much more serious. I said it was hard not impossible.

😆

Many thanks acidtest.

No worries, enjoy! It’s a good one!
