Back by popular demand, Round 7 of the Enduro World Season landed in Zona Zero, Sobrarbe Spain. The two-day Stage Race is listed as the most physically demanding of the 2018 EWS season. There's no question that the course is the perfect recipe for riders like Richie Rude, with steep, dusty and rocky descents. Richie came out ready to defend his victory from the last time the EWS visited Zona Zero in 2015, winning four of seven stages to take the victory while also debuting his new Yeti SB150.

The win in Spain marks Richie's second victory of the 2018 EWS season.

Richie heads into the last round of the EWS at Finale Ligure, where he took 2nd place to Martin Maes in 2016, with a head full of steam.

All smiles for Richie, after having some bad luck with mechanicals and crashes earlier this season, it was great to see Richie back on top.
