This Suday near the Fenis Castle (AO) the third round of Circuito Italiano Trial had taken place.

It was a beautiful race with difficoult zone and a hot sun.

In this race I used my brand new Kamel 231 26″ full disk, so the feeling wasn’t at the top.

Another technical news are the new tires  Continental “Rubber Queen 2.4” used by everyone in the world race because it’s 400gr lighter. It was delivered to me the previous morning after the race so I couldn’t do the right test. I’ve  noticed a loss of grip maybe because of the wrong pressure so I couldn’t do the best I can.

Where the other riders passed the zone with 0 penalities I’ve put down my foot.

Despite of these problems I’ve ranked first with the better score of Elite class.

Special thanks to my friend and Natioanl Mate Alessandro Delfino, who have work hard wiht his society Velo Club Courmayeur.

We will se at grosio where it will be a Indoor race in the centre of the village. This race is organized by Gionata Della Rodolfa, winner of the last Master class race.  

Ciao to everyone“Pool”

The Bike Trial is  sport which is growing faster than the other.

This is an amazing sport but it requires technical skills so it’s better ask to a professional rider some advise to start or to improve the driving style.

If you’re tired of these type of trainer

and you prefer people much….

but who can do

and e who is able to teach is “gratuated” in a federal teaching school..

…The Bike Trial School organized by Pool Patrizi and the Future Trial Racing Team is right for you!

Pool is a funny boy but is very professional. He will advise you about driving skills, technical solution for the bike and some concepts for using your body at the top!

Last Saturday the European Championship took place in  Zoetermeer (NED).

This race was so hard with extreme and difficoult zone. Those race are different by the World Championship type; here there are only the semi-finals and the finals, so I raced with a lot of World Champion!

In this race I’ve ranked 14th, better than my opponent Pascal Benaglia. 

There was two cement zone, one made of trees  and two on rocks.

The day of the race the weather was sunny but the previpus day was so rainy and windy!

Every single race I do useless mistakes that costs me a lot of position in the final ranking.

The coach of the national team has made  positive comment regarding the  race.

The next race is programmed for the next week-end at Fenis in Valle D’Aosta (Italy)

Ciao a tutti!!!

I always think that Spain is a warm and confortable place but when I arrived to Rippol i found wind, rain and cold temperature! 

I hoped thaht the first race of the year will start very well but…because it wasn’t so!

Over twenty-second place in the quarter-finals,  I missed the opportunity to enter into semi-final of course.

The only consolation is the fact that I ranked first of the Italians among sevent  athletes, not so bad.

The day after the quarter-finals we saw the areasof the semi-final. Compared to previous World Cups, we have noticed an increase of difficoulty ! On technique, power and duration of each area you certainly saw a level almost of a Final Round!

The next World Cup is in Germany Heubach 15-17 May ..I hope to make a good placement.

See you in Germany!
