Description
The end of an incredible 2014 Enduro World Series has come and gone. After traversing the globe, the series concluded in the dream-like sea side town of Finale Ligure, Italy. Ancient trails among the scenic hills provided the final trails of battle where Fabien Barel and Anne-Caroline took race wins, while Jared Graves and Tracy Moseley rode consistently enough to retain Enduro World Series Championship titles. The in-depth interviews and breath-taking photos from Sven Martin and Dave Trumpore take you trackside as we bid the season farewell. A huge thanks goes out to Sven and Dave as well as everyone that made the 2014 Enduro World Series a season to remember!
