Among the protagonists of the event, the vice world champion of e-enduro, Andrea Garibbo, who conquered the first step of the podium with an extraordinary performance. The route, characterized by an alternation of climbs and descents along ultra-technical single tracks, put every competitor to the test, but the energy and passion of all the participants made this day unforgettable.
