Windham 2012, the track that put the Elite Women in crisis

A track that featured very long jumps where many athletes, and athletes, were in crisis in being able to close them.

Windham: a track not too technical, compared to the other World Cup tracks, but which featured important doubles where you needed to have technique but also a lot of speed.

Emmeline Ragot on that occasion he was 3rd due to a fall a few meters from the finish line. Emmeline in that year wore the iris, won at Champery 2011, a track famous for Danny Hart's run in the mud. Also Rachel Atherton a nice wild card was played in the middle of the course to close the final jump to the centimeter.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
