Powerstage Preview | EWS-E Crans Montana

The penultimate round of EWS-E is going down in Crans-Montana, Switzerland and there is a huge day of racing coming up!
Racers were out on track practicing a course that takes in three loops, nine stages and a lung busting 70km of pedalling. We sent Ric McLaughlin out to tackle the all important Power Stage - a terrifyingly technical climbing trail that could well be the make or break point come race day.

Ric - you're amazing! We love you - keep up the awesome work!

It’s good to see a normal rider tackle the stages, to put into perspective how tough it really is. Good effort Richie

I what you mean.. most people who emtb had mountain bikes before they got one though. It's cool seeing pro riders who haven't tried hard climbs on them give it a go.

Nice content. It's not as easy as it might look

Richie on an eeb made my day 😍

[@edgarastranas7492]

The Pros make it look easy....but it's Super Hard and then some!

[@uci_mtbworldseries]

It's insanely hard!

[@baileychristie5747]

When are we going to see a power stage in EWS 🤪

[@uci_mtbworldseries]

I don't think the riders would be into that!

[@baileychristie5747]

@@uci_mtbworldseries yeah I know haha that would be brutal. A lot of riders would be stoked to see more pedalling in stages and a bigger day on the bike. That's what enduro is all about

[@WerdnaLiten]

@@baileychristie5747 Agree; EWS-E is closer to Enduro than EWS is.

[@baileychristie5747]

@@WerdnaLiten would definitely bring out the enduro racers on top of the downhillers that come across if the days get bigger like how they used to be.

What annoying engine sound... What's that brand?

It was annoying to hear the sound of a bicycle hitting a stone, my ears still hurt ;)
