As the YT MOBster enjoys some training, recovery and relaxation after the adrenaline-fuelled EDR kick-off in Maydena and Derby, we snatched up Jack Moir’s 5 top tips for Enduro Racing:
#1 Preparation
“Make sure you come into an enduro with the correct preparation. It’s a massive day on the bike, so if you haven’t been training properly, it’s going to be deadly.“
Save the beers for after the enduro, but make sure they’re chilled!
“Make sure you eat and drink enough! Even though you might not feel like it, it’s super important to keep your energy levels up throughout the whole day.”
#3 GoPro for Practice
“It’s a good idea to run a GoPro in practice so you can rewatch the stages before racing. You will never be able to remember everything on a stage, but it helps with key sections.”
#4 Bike setup
“Make sure your bike is set up well for the type of trails you’re racing. If you’re doing big long 15-minute stages, it’s important to be super comfortable, and you’ll be able to hang on the whole time.”
