Two time Canadian National Enduro Champion Remi Gauvin is one of many athletes who made the move from the downhill circuit over the past several years, and his results prove it was a successful switch. While he earned some impressive rankings on the dual-crown bike, his current title as the “fastest North American in the EWS” for 2019 currently tops those achievements.
Gauvin halved his 2018 ranking of eighth place overall in the EWS with a hard fought fourth place at the close of the 2019 season. He managed that fourth spot, despite placing outside of the top twenty at two events, by achieving consistently high rankings at all of the other six races. His best result for 2019 was at round two in Tasmania where he took third place on three of the six stages to finish in third for the weekend. Back on home soil in Whistler, BC he claimed 5th place and was the fastest Canadian on track by a long shot.
When he’s not pinning it down some beautiful ribbon of singletrack “Remi the Semi” might be found brewing up a fresh espresso. He really loves coffee. So much so that he brings his own brew kit with him to races. Get more of his story, along with a sweet bike check of his 2020 Rocky Mountain Slayer below.
