The fifth and final EWS-E of the season is going down on a huge course in Finale Ligure, Italy.

Featuring 12 stages, over 60km of pedalling and over 2500m of descent, this epic course will decide the 2022 overall champions. Our dynamic duo Ric McLaughlin and Ruaridh Cunningham headed out on to Finale’s famous trails to check out the stages – and this time they brought along special guest Mark Scott of Santa Cruz bicycles to show them how it’s done.
