Richie Rude Podiums at the Enduro World Champs!

7iDP on an Elite World level podium once again! History was made at the weekend as the inaugural UCI Enduro World Championships were held in Val di Fassa, Italy. Yeti Cycles and current UCI Enduro World Cup Champion Richie Rude rode hard in tough conditions to claim the Bronze Medal and another podium at Elite level. A sudden snowstorm on Friday saw the course moved to a lower altitude but the conditions were still very challenging. Some stages still had a dusting of snow on them and they were all very slippery. Despite the tricky conditions Richie rode at his usual high level but was unable to close the gap on the two French riders ahead of him in the overall standings. 

Richie’s Results: 

Stage 1: 2nd - Stage 2: 8th - Stage 3: 5th - Stage 4: 3rd - Stage 5: 2nd Position Overall: 3rd Bronze Medal 

That’s it for a fantastic Enduro 2024 season for 7iDP riders, but there is still plenty of Elite racing coming up as the UCI Downhill World Cup heads to Mont-Sainte-Anne in Canada for the final round. Watch out for all of the riders using (and trusting) 7iDP protection.
