Santa Cruz Rockshox starts the year with a bang: after yesterday's victory by Sara Cortinovis, also excels among the Elites with Martina Berta, who demonstrates excellent condition by putting many World Cup riders behind her, starting with the 2021 world champion Evie Richards, which seems to have fixed the back problems from last year.
Great try also from Giada Specia: 4th place for her and a lot of Italians are expected in this 2023 of XCO.
Today was a very tough race for me, I didn't manage it very well and in the final stages I felt tired, which created some difficulties for me on the downhills, especially in the closing laps. Overall, however, the sensations are good, so I consider it a first positive test - Giada Specia.
