Livorno, 4 May 2024 – Mountain bike, the 3rd stage of the Toscano Enduro Series 2024 in Livorno
Livorno, with its territory between the hills and the sea, has been chosen as the venue for the 3rd stage of the Toscano Enduro Series (TES) 2024, scheduled for Sunday 5 May.
Enduro, which is one of the disciplines of the Italian Cycling Federation, is practiced with bicycles which, for non-specialists, can be defined as “mountain bikes” (MTB). It differs from similar disciplines, such as cross country and downhill, as the races are held on marked circuits that are predominantly downhill, with routes that favor riding technique in every situation. The ranking is obtained from the sum of the competitor’s travel times in the special stages of each individual race, added to the advances or delays at the time control points.
The aim of the Toscano Enduro Series which will be held in Livorno is to introduce athletes of all ages to the practice of enduro, with a series of races and routes that give everyone the opportunity to try their hand at this discipline, to have fun and grow safely, without excessive testing in the frantic search for the perfect guide.
Both “muscle” and electric bike (e-bike) tests are planned.
There are many categories, divided into both male and female age groups, and range from 13 years onwards.
Athletes registered with the FCI or one of the many sports associations affiliated with the FCI, and non-members can register for the race (via the website https://www.toscanoenduroseries.it/) provided they have a competitive medical certificate for cycling.
The Livorno event is organized by the amateur sports team “Mushroom Mtb Livorno” (email [email protected]) which in recent days has identified the route and prepared the signs along the routes.
The municipal administration has made the Caprilli Hippodrome (viale Italia 305) available, where the departure is scheduled (first athletes starting at 8 am), the arrival and the awards ceremony (at 4 pm). From Saturday 4 May the “Paddock” area will be set up at the racecourse at the disposal of the athletes.
For the public interested in attending the trials, the organizers let it be known that the special trials and the paths of the Colline Livornesi Trail Area are full of spectacular points to see the athletes passing up close. A list of the most interesting observation points, with coordinates, is available on the internet page https://www.toscanoenduroseries.it/iscrive/230-tes-3-livorno-li-5-maggio-2024-camp-toscano-fci GPS, maps and directions to reach them.
