Saturday’s Pro Stage at Enduro World Series #3 is done and dusted and – once again – Jesse Melamed is right near the front of the rankings. After winning EWS Petzen-Jamnica last weekend, the Canadian stormed to second place on Val di Fassa’s opening day.

Rocky Mountain Race Face’s enduro sensation shared his GoPro 10 footage from Saturday’s Pro Stage. It looks … physical.

Flat out (or slightly uphill) sprints into very Euro, slow technical corners start the stage off. That makes sure racers are already red-lined when the track dives into the woods and gets properly technical.

Melamed didn’t seem to stoked on the video, labeling it Pro Stage Mess. But only Richie Rude managed the race run better, and still only put three seconds into Melamed. So, if the Canadian has more in the tank for Sunday’s stages, it could be another good weekend for the Rocky Mountain Race Face Team.
