Bernet and Lanthier-Nadeau win Swiss Enduro Series opener in Lenzerheide

The premiere of the Swiss Enduro Series took place last weekend. With four varied stages and over 1000 meters of altitude, the racers had to give their all. Andreané Lanthier Nadeau from Canada, who even postponed her flight to Europe for the race in Lenzerheide and traveled directly to the race, won the women's elite category. In the men's category, Jonas Bernet celebrated his first victory in an enduro race with a very consistent race run. He finished all stages in the top three.

The closest decision of the day came in the men's open category. Ronny Caduff prevailed over Daniel Eymann by 13 hundredths. Stage four, which was on the World Cup Downhill course, made the difference in favor of Ronny Caduff. Former World Cup Downhill rider Carina Cappellari won the Open Woman category. In the U17 category, Lasse Eschler rode to a phenomenal time, which was even good enough for a top 8 finish in the overall classification.

The national novelty of introducing an U15 category was a great success. Accompanied by a trusted person, the youngest riders were able to gain their first racing experience between the tape in enduro racing. The Swiss Enduro Series is committed to promoting the sport of enduro and the introduction of this category was a first step in this direction. Young racers can gain experience in a safe environment and on a challenging course. Lois Eller, the youngest participant in the field, won the U15 category. He relegated his first competitor Brendon Rusterholz to second place with a gap of over a minute. He in turn took third place in the team classification with his team Bike Lane Fullsend TV. Victory in this new team category went to Team Laax Riders Int. with Andreané Lathier Nadeau, Caro Gehrig and Ronny Caduff.

The Swiss Enduro Series is now preparing for the EWS in Crans-Montana. This race is also open to amateur and junior riders. The organizers of the Swiss Enduro Series would be delighted to see as many riders as possible in Crans-Montana. The next round of the Swiss Enduro Series will take place in the Lötschental, where Swiss Enduro champions will also be officially crowned for the first time.
