He delivered an all-star acting performance as a mad, performance-enhancing-drug doctor in his Dirt Diaries production, Ze Lab. He pushed Fabien Barel to get creative in RockShox’s French Lessons. He skillfully \u2014 and shamelessly \u2014 sent a cyclocross bike down A-Line and Dirt Merchant in the Whistler Bike Park. And despite a DNF in Rotorua, the opening round of the 2015 Enduro World Series, Yoann Barelli\u2019s solid performances, and a couple of close 2nds, netted the Whistler-based Frenchman a top-10 overall in his discipline\u2019s premier series.<\/p>\n
The Dirt Diaries is lucky to have a natural-born comedian. French Lessons was richer for Yoann\u2019s added perspective. The cyclocross faithful can surely rest easy knowing that their bikes are much tougher than they\u2019d previously thought. And someday soon, Barelli\u2019s undeniable skill and absolute love of the sport are going to see him all the way to the top of the EWS podium.<\/p>\n
