Exciting enduro final in Flims

The final of the "Specialized-Sram Enduro Series" will be held next Sunday. Over 300 riders will take on six special stages on the trails around Flims. In addition to numerous top enduro riders, two cross-country world champions are also expected.

The final race of the "Specialized-Sram Enduro Series" will be another battle for the final points in the overall standings. Although leader André Wagenknecht goes into the race with a 24-point lead, he will not be able to rest on his laurels. His German compatriot Petrik Brückner is the only rider still in with a real chance of overall victory. Swiss enduro specialist Gusti Wildhaber could move up from sixth to third place with a top finish and a bit of luck.

On September 13, the race for the day's victory should be at least as interesting as the race for overall victory. There are some strong riders on the start list for the Flims enduro race. Swiss enduro pros Ludovic May and Lukas Anrig as well as local hero Armin Beeli have good maps for the day's victory on the 27-kilometer course. In addition to other fast Swiss enduro riders, the Swiss downhill scene will also be well represented. For example, it will be interesting to see how the Swiss junior downhill champion Noel Niederberger performs. Ralph Näf will also be doing the honors and demonstrating his enduro skills.High-caliber women's race
Germany's Antje Kramer leads the women's race ahead of Ines Thoma (GER). In third place is Anneke Beerten from the Netherlands. The two-time 4x World Champion is aiming for another top result, provided she has recovered from the injuries she suffered at the 4x World Championships. The twins Carolin and Anita Gehrig, who live in Flims, have also set their sights high. Anita, who won the series last year, focused on the Enduro World Series together with her sister and therefore had to miss a few races of the "Specialized-Sram Enduro Series". With a top result on home soil, both would like to compensate a little for this omission.Over 40 women have registered for the last race in the series. However, the aforementioned favorites are not the only fast riders. The biggest competition also comes from Switzerland. Lorraine Truong and the downhill specialists Carina Cappellari and Alba Wunderlin also want to be among the front runners. You should also keep an eye on Jolanda Neff. The U23 world champion is riding her first enduro race in Flims. However, this does not mean that she should not be counted on. On the one hand, Neff is still in great shape and on the other, she is regarded as an outstanding technician and fearless rider.

Flims has definitely made a name for itself in the enduro sector over the last decade. With the "Trailfox", a rather special event is held every year that is not part of the normal range of mountain bike disciplines. This is certainly not so unusual nowadays, as the format is very close to the definition of enduro. It was therefore not a far step for Flims to also play a role in the "Specialized-SRAM Enduro Series". It is therefore not surprising that over 300 riders registered for the final despite the late date. As the only race in the "Specialized-Sram Enduro Series", the fastest rider in the "Red Bull Speed Trap" in Flims will be rewarded with a special prize.
