Two women take to the starting line during the women's mountain bike finals, in an urban area with stone paving and safety barriers.

Medde beat the Aosta Valley by a few millimeters. The comment of the coach Celestino: “Gaia did the usual head match. This time the Frenchwoman was good at staying attached to the wheel to jump it in the sprint at the photo finish. After such a long series of successes it was inevitable that sooner or later it would have to happen. Too bad this happened at the World Championship. ”.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
