2016 7idp Enduro Series #2 Val d'Allos
A breath of fresh air flew over the second round of the 7idp Enduro Series 2016 in Val d’Allos bringing riders from the EWS that didn’t take part of the challenge in the Vosges and who blew up the stopwatch on the timed runs. Adrien Dailly, Alexandre Cure and Florian Nicolaï took advantage of the playground in Val d’Allos to practice for the international competition that comes back in less than three weeks on a similar ground.
In a nice summertime atmosphere embraced with sunshine, Val d’Allos hosted the 14th edition of the Tribe 10000 - the second round of the 7idp Enduro Series in a rally format. The dry and dusty trails bordered with flowered meadows became the playground for the three hundred riders registered for the competition. On the agenda of the endeavor we could observe 4 physical stages with pronounced pedaling sections that pushed more than one pilot to change the bracket option in order to win some precious seconds on the flat ground. The endless stage 1 that exceeded more than 15 minutes even for the best riders and the e-bikes gave a hard time to more than one with some crashes and mechanical issues like for Chloé Gallean or Alexis Noirot compelled to finish the the stage on a single speed.
Some of the pilots like Alexandre Cure have chosen the 29ner wheel size format to face the pedaling and climbing sections what by the end resulted in a 2nd place in the scratch right after Flying Flo, only two-tenths of a second behind. Baptiste Gaillot takes the third place in Val d’Allos and propels himself to the 2nd place in the general classification tied with Ludovic Oget. The young Elliot Trabac becomes the leader of the tournament with 36 points ahead of the second what foreshadows a assiduous competition between the three of them with the half-season round that is about to happen this weekend in Millau.
Olivier Giordanengo called « the specialist » by Adrien Dailly - the winner of this round, takes the lead of the Trophee VTT AE by Giant with Sabrina Jonnier on his side at the highest steps of the podium she, for whom Allos trails have no more secrets. Morgane Such, who had a bad crash on the third stage has put it all together again and made it till the end keeping her first place at the podium thanks to a comfortable lead she won on the first two stages.
Val d’Allos has once again been the theater of a gorgeous mtb party with a great organisation and a splendid weather. Varying trails in the middle of an exquisite natural environment have definitely set the challenge between the leading riders.
