In the case you wanted to know precisely how are the specials of each stage, or if you want to experience them in first person, the headcam of the athletes is the right solution! You can follow the social network pages of teams or athletes you'll be able to find the headcam record in the days before the race. The major teams to follow are Yeti, Canyon, Specialized, Trek or Cube.
When the qualifications end, and the proper race starts, we start talking about results, problems, mechanicals and everything that concerns high speed on rough terrains. You'll then be able to find all the live results on the Enduro World Series Website, in the "FANS" section, "Race Feeds" / "Results".
Following the EWS Twitter profile is a really good way to keep up to date on the last news: it actually gathers together many accounts of many athletes.
Another nice platform mainly for pictures and videos is Instagram. A lot of insiders use this social network.

After the event has ended, when the race os over and the results are out, there is one more passage to follow: every tuesday, a video will be pulished with all the highlights of the weekend. In 20 minutes will be put two days of the most thrilling events of the mountainbike world!
How to follow the EWS on track
Following an EWS stage is not like following a Downhill or Cross country cup. It takes place on a wider terrain area, therefore it is important to know the main passages of each special to be in the rightplace at the right moment.
At the same time, at the end of every special it is likely to find the athletes stopping for a bit of a recovery talking to the audience before going on with the following climb.
Staying in the central square of Finale is another good place to stay thanks to the atmosphere and the live commentary about the race
Last but not the least, the athletes MUST be supported in any kind of way...strange clothes or tools clanging are the basics that everybody should bring with himself to cheer them up...after these...everything is allowed! The stranger the better!
