First round of the iXS European circuit Downhill Cup, an excellent showcase to show off for all those young riders who want to emerge and get noticed. The venue was the well-known Croatian town of Losinj, home of the World Cup in 2020.

Among the men victory of the Slovenian Luka Berginc in front of Simon Maurer and Jure Zabjek. First of the Italians Alberto Filisetti (Punto Sport Team) who finished in 18th place.

Let's go and see the track from an on-board camera (during qualifying) of Francesco Colombo, who then finished in 25th place.

Nice performance by Andrea Bonanomi who finished in 7th place among the U19s with an interesting 2'42 ″ 876. Worthy of note are the good placings, in the top of the U19, of Mattia Costerman (Bike Evo) and Guglielmo Cazzola (Kona Bike Center Cimone). Space for the video of the race

famac@famac.ind.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').
