Wake up early today to continue the enduro tour of Slovenia as I nicknamed it!
This morning we started from Cnerko where the ieir stage took place to reach one of the most beautiful places in terms of landscape and without a doubt the most fun stage for flow lovers in pure Coggiola or Pogno style!
Today was the most difficult day for me as I am not comfortable driving in the flow as I prefer to throw myself into the steep bumps but I managed to finish third of the stage keeping the second position in the general!
In short, another good performance that makes me happy and confident for the continuation of the race!
THE TOURIST RUSTICK
The train transfer offered me the opportunity to avoid a large part of the poorly maintained roads of the Slovenian mountains as well as being able to enjoy the beauty of the green and unspoiled landscapes of the Julian Alps in complete tranquility.
Rustick BLInD Marathon Race Team Crew
This format goes beyond any racing topology I have participated in in my life.
Driving blindly, spending 4 days with the other competitors during the transfers from city to city and from special to special, I had the honor of knowing people deeply and establishing beautiful international friendships unlike some disciplines in which you arrive with your team, van, practice, sleep, race, podium, runway ...
This reflection was born during the transfer that lasted almost an hour on the train that leads from most na soci to bonji in which, like an intrigued hyperactive child, I could not help but look and take pictures outside the window
