MTB UCI Italian XCO Championships in Pergine

19-21/7/2024

MTB UCI Italian Championship XCO 2024 in Pergine Valsugana

 

While the weekend before it was our junior team, last Saturday and Sunday our ‘agonisti’ and masters competed in the national cross-country title fights.
The venue was Pergine Valsugana: the local organisers of Polisportiva Oltrefersina once again provided a very challenging course for this special event.

The start took place on Saturday, with Jakob Stecher (Junior) and Gregor Pinggera (U23), two of our cross country racers, taking part. Jakob, who is concentrating more on the road races this year, achieved 102nd place from 133rd on the grid. Gregor had good legs as well as a bit of luck, and despite a crash on the penultimate lap, finished in a very respectable 16th place.

On Sunday, Antonio Mariani had to start his race at 9 a.m. despite being on night duty, and managed to finish 19th (Elite Master Sport) ‘slightly overtired’.
