After several days of sunny weather, the promise of the first dry round of the year was broken on Saturday when the heavens opened. While the skies are dry for race day, the trails most definitely are not, so expect some loose moves and dramatic crashes.
Meanwhile, down in the pits, BikeRadar has been scoping out the shiny bikes and tech ridden by the world’s best enduro riders. Have a look and a drool, we certainly have been!

The battle for number one
Greg Callaghan starts the race number 1 in the overall rankings, but Sam Hill isn’t far behindPhil Hall / Immediate Media Co
Greg Callaghan comes into the fourth round of the EWS fresh from a win at Madeira and with two previous wins in Ireland, and it being the home race for him it’s fair to say there’s a wee bit of pressure.
It’s something that Callaghan certainly seems to be taking in his stride, however. “Pressure makes diamonds,” he commented on-stage before setting off to rapturous applause.

Lauded in Ireland, Callaghan has had plenty of mainstream media attention with segments on RTE news, the national news network, and articles in broadsheets such as the Irish Independent.
The country is clearly very proud of its mountain biking son, so can he pull another win out of the bag here or is he chasing the overall title? After all, he ranks number one overall going into round four.
