Marco Aurelio Fontana, a well-known figure in the world of MTB, was also there to test the route. This is his opinion on what the athletes will have to face tomorrow: “The route is along the lines of that of last year, with the great advantage that in this edition it has been widened. It was honestly the only weak point of the previous one because otherwise it was already very beautiful, very challenging and very technical.

It is the "most Swiss" route in Italy, and this is obviously a compliment. Now that it has been broadened, the athletes' perspective becomes broader, consequently higher speeds will easily be recorded and there will be more overtaking possibilities, especially benefiting those who start at a disadvantage during the race day."
