After the success of the first round in Caldirola, with the very high turnout of runners despite the unfavorable weather, the Gravitalia National Circuit returns for the second major event of the 2014 season, the highly anticipated stage of Sestola (MO).
The route, well balanced between new school and old school sections, without excessive technical difficulties but always challenging and fun, has remained unchanged compared to last season.
The finish line will be set up again in the main square of the town, surrounded by the Tech & Expo Area where exhibitors and companies present for technical assistance will be housed. Red Bull with its drinks and its DJ set, will give wings to this second stage of the Gravitalia National Circuit.
In the video preview of the track, filmed by brothers Marco and Mattia Roncaglia of the 360Degrees team, the entire Sestola track from start to finish. Unfortunately, technical problems did not allow us to provide you with the data in real time as for the Caldirola video, but we promise that they will be present on all the other video previews of the Gravitalia National Circuit. Gas hammer and see you this weekend in Sestola!

The sun accompanied the entire day dedicated to qualifying for the second stage of the Gravitalia National Circuit in Sestola (MO).
The characteristics of the race track meant that the top riders were unable to establish themselves with important gaps, so all 350 registered athletes had to fight hard to play different positions on the edge of hundredths of a second, giving moments of suspense to the large audience. here I'm.
The Italian champion Lorenzo Suding (Team Norco International) sets the fastest time, just 2 hundredths of a second ahead of Simone Medici (Pedroni Cycles Racing). About 2 seconds behind are Oscar Härnström (Team Exceptio Sport) and Mattia Roncaglia (360Degrees), while the fifth time is for Marco Milivinti (Torpado Factory Team).
Alia Marcellini (LeeCougan Dirty Factory Team) dominates again among the Women Agonists, followed by Eleonora Farina (Mangusta Bike Team) and Rosaria Fuccio (Team Il Ciclista OffRoad). Sara Mologni (Team Scout NukeProof) sets the best time among the Women Amateurs.
A puncture stopped the holder of the leader jersey of the Amatori Men, Fabrizio Dragoni, allowing Lorenzo Frigerio (Team Scout NukeProof) to conquer the first place, with almost 3 seconds of advantage on the direct rivals, Luca Bottausci and Paolo Pignani, both of Florence Freeride ASD.
