The Enduro World Series has resumed this week in La Thuile, Italy. Like in the Dolomites in June, the stage hosts two rounds, the first (third round of the season) took place on Thursday.

In the magnificent mountains of the Aosta Valley, strewn with loam and with particularly steep and natural alpine trails, Antoine Vidal and Alex Rudeau had a blast once again. The two COMMENCAL Enduro Team riders made the top 10!
Antoine, who was victim of a heavy fall and an injured back for the DH World Cup in Les Gets, was able to recover and play his part in this round. He achieved a brilliant 10th place! A result which shows his consistency after his other 9th and 11th places in Val Di Fassa.
Alex Rudeau is getting even closer to the worlds top spot by taking 8th place! He's also progressing and will certainly be a top 5 contender very soon.

In the overall standings, Antoine Vidal consolidates his place in the top 10 (8th), Alex Rudeau joins the mix by taking 10th.

Next round in La Thuile is Sunday 11th July.
