We will start on Friday 21 July with the Italian E-Bike. But it will be the races of cross country, undoubtedly, to garner more attention. The organizing committee has formalized the technical data of the next route of the Italian Mtb Xco 2023 Championships.

A completely new path, compared to past editions, revised in length and now, to all intents and purposes, a modern path. It measures 3.9 km for a difference in altitude of 170 m. It develops for 60% on grassy ground, 30% undergrowth and 10% asphalt. The words from the organizing committee of the Mtb Club Gaerne who took care of the Italians' track down to the smallest detail. “A breath of fresh air that after many years has given way to an unpublished track sought and desired by the entire organizing team of the Mtb club Gaerne. The characteristic of this route are the continuous changes of pace which make recovery difficult and in case of great heat it will put the athletes to the test. It will be necessary to balance the forces well, to face the technical parts and the descents with lucidity. A complete track therefore, which will highlight the riding technique, as well as the resistance qualities of the athletes".

But let's see it in detail. The departure is on asphalt, you enter directly into the natural amphitheater of the Zoppa Secca.

Here a series of novelties will characterize this first phase of the race, the track winds through the natural slope with continuous changes of pace, alternating with various artificial technical sections where it will be necessary to pay close attention and study the ideal line well, avoiding loss of speed and time precious. Compared to previous editions, the difference is immediately perceived by the few chances to catch your breath, in fact even the second part, after passing under the bridge that crosses the route and through some stretches, you reach the longest climb, about 300 meters 4-5%. After reaching the highest point, you enter another stretch of the Maser track where driving skills will make the difference, some passages, characterized by roots, rocks and trunks, in this case alternative lines have been provided, subsequently two very fast canyons and a short but demanding climb, with many natural obstacles, where once again it will be important to find the rhythm. The final part winds along the valley floor via a single track with passages between some rocks, from here again on the bridge that crosses the route again, you will take yourself to the finish, not before a further transit to the dry lame for the last passage before the arrival.
