Grit and Glory: Enduro returns to Val di Fassa, Trentino

The latest episode of Grit and Glory: Enduro Mountain Bike Racing, produced by Warner Bros. Discovery Sports and the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, takes viewers into the heart of Val di Fassa, Trentino — one of the most iconic venues in the global enduro scene.

In 2025, enduro racing returns to Val di Fassa for the sixth stop of the UCI Enduro Mountain Bike World Cup, and this episode offers an authentic, behind-the-scenes look at what it means to race among the UNESCO Dolomites: physical effort, technical mastery, raw emotion, and the deep preparation required at this level.

The story unfolds through the eyes of two key riders: Simona Kuchyňková (CUBE Action Team), one of the rising stars of the discipline and Richie Rude (Yeti Fox Factory Race Team), a multi-time champion returning to Val di Fassa with something left to prove.

From legendary special stages to long mountain transfers, from race-day routines to quiet moments of personal reflection, the episode reveals what’s usually hidden from fans: the work, doubts, pressure and determination behind every result.

Watch the full episode and experience Val di Fassa like never before.
