Surprisingly, wearing the Tricolore Gerhard Kerschbaumer (Specialized Factory Racing), which covers the Italian flag after the 2017-2018-2019 hat-trick.
ITALIAN HIGHLIGHTS MOUNTAIN BIKE
Surprisingly because yes, it was growing, but no one would have expected it to be able to bend Luca Braidot, winner of the last 2 cup tests. But the surprise was also the 2nd place of Juri Zanotti (1st year in the Elite category), which leaves Braidot in place and even threatens Kerschabumer, arriving just 9 seconds.
THE ARRIVAL OF KERSCHBAUMER
Right from the start, we understand that the challenge will be between Luca Braidot, Gerhard Kerschbaumer and Juri Zanotti, with Daniele Braidot (CS Carabinieri) and Nadir Colledani (MMR Factory Racing) active but who will lose contact in the last part of the race.
During the last lap, Kerschbaumer forces uphill while Braidot seems to have had a mechanical problem which slowed him down and then relegated him to 3rd place. Fourth place for the other Braidot, Daniele (1.58), fifth for an excellent Alessio Agostinelli (KTM-Protek-Dama, +4.28).
