Enduro World Series Rotorua 2019 Slideshow

MM TSD NBD at the EWS, FFS. Total Stage Domination for Martin Maes, no big deal. The scary thing is he made it look easy, riding in control for a perfect day. Pre-race audio. -Sven Martin

Reverse mullet, 69er, 97.5er, winner. -Sven Martin

Martin admits to following Wyn all of practice. He tapped into the local knowledge and then added a bit more of that Maes magic. -Sven Martin

Heckler's Corner on Stage 4. Isabeau was one of the fastest and safest riders there. @maddogboris

Isabeau Courdurier's first EWS victory. Tears of happiness followed shortly after. -Sven Martin

Looks like Isabeau's fans traveled around the World to support her. @maddogboris

Winner, winner! Long time coming and well deserved for Isabeau. -Sven Martin

Brady Stone, fresh off an NZ Enduro elite podium and taking the win in the U21 today. A bright future for the young man from Nelson, NZ. -Sven Martin

What a week for Keegan Wright. 2nd (on his trail bike) at DH national champs. 2nd in the King of Crankworx competition with great results in Dual Slalom (1st) and Pumptrack (2nd). He shredded Air DH and regular Downhill, still finding the legs for a 2nd place in the Enduro today, which unfortunately, doesn't count towards King of Crankworx. -Sven Martin

Keegan is an unreal Powerhorse! He competed in nearly all disciplins of crankworks. @maddogboris

Morgane Charre doubling one of the optional gaps. -Sven Martin

Morgane Charre in disbelief crossing the finish line in to the lead and ultimately finishing 2nd today. What a a way to start the year. -Sven Martin

Pretty sure we will see more good results from Morgane this season. @maddogboris

Florian Nicolai, dodging logs and carving turns towards the bottom of Kateore. 3rd place and only under the radar to those not paying attention. -Sven Martin

Florian Nicolai started the first day with the #3 plate and finished day as number #3 on the Podium. Well done. @maddogboris

Foot out, flat out for Bex Barona. @maddogboris

Bex hearing the news on the way to stage four that she was in the hunt for a podium. -Sven Martin

Your Elite Men's podium - Martin Maes, Keegan Wright and Florian Nicolai. @maddogboris

Two first-time podium placers and a finalyy-eady-for-another winner.. Congrats Isabeau Courdurier, Morgane Charre and Bex Barona @maddogboris

Antoine Vidal narrowly missing out on the win. Second place today in U21 -Sven Martin

Jesse Melamed with an amazing 4th place and just 10 seconds of the podium after 28 minutes of racing. @maddogboris

Jesse Melamed pushed hard towards the end of the race after a slow start. Ending in 4th place on the day, blasting through the tape after barely crossing the line. -Sven Martin

Noga Korem with the most stylish jump into 4th position. We wouldn't be surprised if she does a no-hander next time! @maddogboris

Stylish, fast and ready for more. Cole Lucas into 5th place today. He's @cole.lucas, hit that follow button now. @maddogboris

Kevin Miquel finished the Race in 6th Position even with a crash on the first Stage. @maddogboris

Remi Gauvin, 7th place riding loose and fast, dodging and weaving through the trees at the bottom of stage two. -Sven Martin

Robin Wallner with yet another Top 10 result. One of the most consistent riders on the circuit getting it done quietly. -Sven Martin

Sam Hill had a couple of crashes. When they require brake and bar tweaks at the end of the stage, they must have been significant. He came into this race a little under the weather, fighting the flu, too. -Sven Martin

Sam Hill Soaring out on stage three with some pre-race audio. He ended up 13th making it a bit of slow start for the 2018 champ. -Sven Martin

Iago Garay with a career best 14th place EWS finish, including a 4th place finish on stage two. -Sven Martin

Becky Cook with a great Top 5 helped by her 2nd place finish on the long Queen stage of the event. -Sven Martin

Gusti and Wyn resting their arms during a climb. -Sven Martin

Packing for these trans-continental races takes some organizing. Plan well, pack efficiently. -Sven Martin

Last time we were in Rotorua, this was the podium. This year they still finished in this order but just a few spots back. Go the Kiwis. Since there's no Eddie photo today, his audio will work here to go with the Kiwi spirit. -Sven Martin

Iago Garay on stage one this morning being cheered on by the crowds. -Sven Martin

Adrien Dailly back racing but not without hurting his elbow again during training. He finished the day, but looked to be just cruising. -Sven Martin

Dimitri Tordo carving. -Sven Martin

Anita Gehrig on a much drier Kateore trail down to Blue Lake than a few years ago. Riders were lucky as the rain was threatening all day. -Sven Martin

Do it the Kiwi way! HAKA. GT Factory Racing. @maddogboris

Smiles for miles! ALN finished the Weekend with a solid 6th Place. @maddogboris

So long Rotorua. Bring on Tasmania. @maddogboris

Media shuttle vibes! @maddogboris

Last year's winner, Wyn Masters, expected more than 8th Place. Still great to start the season with a Top10! @maddogboris
