The specialty of the Team Relay, who often saw us on the podium, this time he didn't smile at our standard bearers. The blue team fielded Luca Braidot, Giada Specia and Valentina Corvi, three riders already present last year in France, while the new entries were Sara Cortinovis, Andreas Vittone and Elian Paccagnella.

Bad start for Italy with the U23 Andreas Vittone, involved in a fall, which ends the fraction in 10th place. In the lead Great Britain with Charlie Aldridge followed by France with Adrien Boichis, and Switzerland third at 20” with Dario Lillo. The Bolzano junior Elian Paccagnella recovers 2 positions but the gap from the race leader rises to 53 seconds. Giada Specia, Valentina Corvi and Sara Cortinovis maintain their positions while the last team player, Luca Braidot, recovers 2 positions with Italy thus finishing in 5th place. Switzerland wins, with an exceptional final runner like Nino Schurter.

Behind Switzerland, we find France just 9 ": Jordan Sarrou made life difficult for Schurter. Denmark closes the podium, with an excellent performance, beating Canada in the sprint.

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and 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').
