P
remium motorcycle boot
manufacturer TCX recently
announced the appointment of
Andrea Nalesso as the inter-
national company's new CEO.
Nalesso brings significant inter-
national experience from leading
positions in several companies
operating in the footwear and
sports industry. Since 2013 he
served as General Manager for
the Equipment and Footwear
division of Oberalp Group. Prior
to this, he spent five years at
Dainese as Director of Sales and
Marketing, where he developed
a strong passion for motorcycle
products. Earlier in his career,
Andrea worked at Geox as Direc-
tor of Sales EMEA, and before
that at Diadora and Dolomite as
Area Sales Manager and Direc-
tor of the German subsidiary,
respectively.
In addition to his significant
industry experience, Andrea is
a passionate motorcyclist and
cyclist.
"It's great to be back in the
motorcycle industry, it's where
my heart belongs," Nalesso said.
"TCX is a great place to land,
the product is superior and the
team has welcomed me warm-
heartedly. I am happy to face this
next challenge with the team and
achieve new ambitious goals."
"I'm happy to welcome Andrea
on board at TCX," says Claus
Stenbaek, Chairman of TCX
SRL. "I am sure that, driven by a
strong passion for motorcycles
and thanks to his deep experi-
ence in the footwear industry,
he will prove more than ca-
pable of leading the brand to an
enhanced leadership position

tree. "I ended up dropping in too
quick, and I crashed pretty hard
into a tree, which dropped me
back several positions, so I had
to battle my way back to get into
second place," said La Foun-
taine, who finished 28 seconds
behind Walton.
Pro 2 points leader, Mitch
Anderson took third and extend-
ed his championship lead to 11
points, heading into the final two
rounds. "I'm battling [Clayton]
Hengeveld (seventh on the day)
and Austin Serpa (fourth) for the
title. I beat both of them so that's
good for me," said Anderson.
In the Pro 2 Lites, it was Victor
Guerrero Ruiz (Yamaha) from
Spain who took the win in what
was his first-ever WORCS race.
Ruiz decided to enter the race
"for fun" and practice for Endu-
roCross for Yamaha 96 Racing
Team. Guerrero is currently
second in points in the Spanish
Enduro Series and fourth in the
FIM World Enduro Champion-
ship, so he was super happy to
come out and get a WORCS win
in his debut. "I got a victory. So
I am very happy to be here. The
race was hard with a lot of dust,"
said Ruiz.
Robby Schott (KTM) was
second, followed by Chance
Fullerton (Beta).
Points leader Spenser Wilton
finished back in 17th, which was
his first race off the podium this
year, but he still has a 27-point
lead over Collin Elliott (seventh
at Glen Helen) heading into the
final two rounds.
