At the 2nd of the TES Palmieri wins in front of Finetto and Chinucci

On the Island of Elba, 2nd round of the Toscano Enduro Series, Vittorio Palmieri (GS Poccianti) wins and convinces. 2nd our tester Davide Finetto (Elba Bike) who had to bow at the last stage to the strong Palmieri. Chinucci Pietro (Cicli Fatato) closes the podium. Among the women Zerini Giada.

The sun, at times alternating with low clouds, kissed the approximately 200 starters at the Elbana Enduro test: a route that received a lot of appreciation from the numerous bikers who landed on the island. The course, masterfully designed by the staff of Elba Ovest, alternated stretches of granite rock with super soft wooded terrain, ending up on slippery mixed sand. A race that changed connotations from PS to PS.

The race was a head to head between Vittorio Palmieri and Davide Finetto, with Chinucci right behind. Before the last stage, Finetto leads the standings with only one second advantage over Palmieri but the latter, with a last special stage without errors and perfect, clearly detaches everyone and goes on to win the 2nd round of the Toscano Enduro Series.

Special Blind Test

A thousand adrenaline in the PS3, run blindly by the competitors. In fact, the Toscano Enduro Series foresees, by regulation 2019, a 'Blind' test each stage. The staff of Elba Ovest, to avoid that some Local already knew the route, left the night before with torches and lights to open it! When passion and professionalism surpass everything.

The special test was won by our tester Davide Finetto: "Driving without knowing the PS I like it a lot, it's a pity that, in the end, you can't do it in the race otherwise the position will always be “th”. Driving on sight puts everyone in the same conditions and the dexterity and the glance jump out instantly: the technical gaps are amplified and it is certainly not easy. In the end I saw everyone arrive very excited and full of adrenaline so it is a format that many like, just don't overdo the technical steps, as has been done here in Elba, otherwise it would become dangerous".

In the Front category, Zanchi Andrea (Gravity Team Francy) wins, ahead of Paglialonga Fabio and Fattori Andrea (both from Vaiano Bike). Certainly not an easy path for the fronts.
