From California Trails to the European Alps
This summer, White Industries rider Marco Osborne traded familiar trails for the rugged mountains of Europe, taking on some of the world’s toughest competition in the Enduro World Cup (EDR) series.
With iconic venues, demanding terrain, and some of the fastest riders on the planet, the European rounds are never easy. But Marco embraced every challenge, delivering two impressive results while soaking in everything the experience had to offer.
Charging Through Canazei
Marco’s first stop was Canazei, Italy, nestled in the heart of the Dolomites. Known for its steep alpine terrain, technical descents, and breathtaking scenery, Canazei tested riders with long stages, unpredictable conditions, and relentless elevation.
Marco rode confidently throughout the weekend, finishing 17th overall against one of the deepest fields in enduro racing.
Building Momentum in La Thuile
The next stop brought the series to La Thuile, Italy, another legendary destination featuring rugged alpine terrain, fast descents, and challenging technical sections.
Marco continued to build speed and confidence, improving his result with an impressive 12th-place finish. His performance reflected not only his fitness and technical ability but also his determination to keep pushing deeper into the field with every race.
Racing at the Highest Level
Competing in the EDR series means racing against the very best in the world on some of the most demanding trails imaginable. Every stage pushes both rider and equipment to their limits, making consistency and reliability just as important as speed.
We’re proud to support Marco as he continues to represent White Industries on the world stage. Seeing our components perform in some of the toughest conditions imaginable is exactly why we build them the way we do—precision-machined, thoroughly tested, and built to last.
What’s Next
Europe has been an incredible experience for Marco, both on and off the bike. Between world-class trails, passionate fans, and unforgettable mountain scenery, the EDR series continues to showcase the very best of enduro racing.
Congratulations to Marco on two strong finishes in Canazei (17th) and La Thuile (12th). We can’t wait to see where the next round takes him.
Keep charging, Marco—we’re all cheering you on from Petaluma.
