"I am very happy with this result, even more special because it was achieved in front of my home fans and my family. After two mistakes in the first special today on Titans it was not easy, but I managed to stay clear-headed, not lose concentration and bring home a podium that for me is worth a lot..” says Nadine upon arrival.

The top step of the women's podium was taken by Britain's Ella Conolly.

In Men's Elite Ranking Slawomir Lukasik (Yeti / Fox Factory Race Team) triumphs, ahead of his teammate Richie Rude Jr., 14 seconds behind. Jesse Melamed (Canyon CLLCTV Factory Team) completes the podium. The best of the Italians is Tommaso Calonaci, 22nd overall.

"It's an amazing location — all the athletes love coming back here every year. The course included all the classic specials, but with clever reinterpretations and well-thought-out innovations. This version of Tuttifrutti was one of the best specials we've done in a long time: so much riding of quality concentrated in a single stage.” declared Canadian Jesse Melamed after the race.
