Enduro World Series Finals - Zermatt Race Slideshow - Mountain Biking Pictures

Sam Hill dwarfing mountains, smashing corners, throwing boulders... @maddogboris

...and laying down a trail of smoke and molten lava, blitzing Zermatt like he had to, to pass Florian for the overall title and a second-place finish on the day. Sealing the deal with the Queen stage win after tying in points after a year of racing. -Sven Martin<br />

Last two riders down, you can see Sam Hill in the distance and Florian trying to close the gap. -Sven Martin

The man and the the magic that has helped Sam Hill win so many Championships and titles. Jacy Shumilak -Sven Martin

Isabeau flying on the high alpine stage four. Winning every round this year, and today on a new prototype bike that she rode just once the day before in training. She dedicates this win to Chad Peterson, who she worked with so closely. Sadly he passed away after being struck by a car a few weeks ago. RIP. -Sven Martin

Isabeau Courdurier had a perfect season winning all rounds with 4240 points. 1350 points ahead of Noga Korem. @maddogboris

Yeah Isabeau you did it! EWS Champion 2019 @maddogboris

Florian Nicolai, on the wild stage four, finished fifth on the day, just one spot off where he need to be to secure the title. Madness, but well-ridden all year. -Sven Martin

Florian Nicolai was one of the most consistent riders of the season and just missed the overall title by 40 points. @maddogboris

Martin Maes on the lunar alpine surface of stage four took the win today, in the shadow of the epic battle for the overall. -Sven Martin

That's how you rail the last corner of the 2019 season and win the race! Well done, Martin Maes @maddogboris

Yeah Antoine Vidal! He nearly won all rounds of the 2019 season and is your EWS U21 Champion. @maddogboris

Richie Rude missing the direct, inside line, but only because he can do the "slow" line faster than anyone else. Third on the day for the powerhouse. -Sven Martin

Richie Rude, the guy with the most stage wins in the 2019 season finished the race in 3rd. @maddogboris

ALN had an amazing season finishing the last race in second and ended up third overall @maddogboris

After suffering a mechanical, Noga Korem still soldiered on to finish the day. Luckily she already had second place in the overall wrapped up. Here she comes in too hot, trying to stay off the brakes with no chain and misses the bridge. -Sven Martin

Kevin Miquel stays super consistent to finish in fourth on the day and third in the series, despite having some bad luck along the way this year. His visor stayed on this round, until the podium that is. -Sven Martin

Multi-tasking. Cedric Ravanel catches his 30-second man on stage one and wins the race and the title in Masters. -Sven Martin

Karim Amour with a second place in Zermatt and a second place Overall just 25 points behind Cedric Ravanel. @maddogboris

Canadian U21 shredder, Lucy Schick, finished 3rd and wins the series title. @maddogboris

Beers, not champagne, for some of the hard fighters. Well done, ladies. -Sven Martin

The last Elite Men's race podium of 2019! @maddogboris

Your overall Men's champions. Sam Hill's cumulative time for the season's racing added up to four hours, forty five minutes and thirty five seconds. (thanks John Parkin) Think about that for a year. -Sven Martin

Yeow. Sam Hill three-peat Enduro World Champion. Chris Ball in audio. -Sven Martin

Rolling into the pits and race village after completing stage five. Neither Florian or Sam knew the final result yet but the congratulated each other on a year of great racing. -Sven Martin

Dancing Queen Kevin Miquel! 4th place in Zermatt and 3rd Overall @maddogboris

Boris caught a swift right-hander from Ritchie after stealing his finish line beer. -Sven Martin

Kasper Woolley had a good race her in Zermatt, second place for the young Canadian. -Sven Martin

Shawn Neer was in third place, ahead of Ritchie Rude at one point. He loves the big, long stages and ended up in 11th spot after two bad final stages. Keep an eye on this rising American talent. -Sven Martin

Maes, Hill and Florian. -Sven Martin

Hill ,Maes and Florian. Job done. -Sven Martin

Who doesn't want to corner like the 3x EWS Champion, Sam Hill? @maddogboris
