After a false start for about half the team last week at the
Grand Prix d’Inverno in Tregnago (Verona), the FOCUS XC ITALY TEAM will
continue (or restart) on the road to the 2013 World Cup at the Rampiprima –
Citta’ di Roveto in the Trentino province of Italy.
Beltain Schmid maistro of any descent
Beltian Schmid who, after the “shock” of his first race at the
longer U23/Elite distance, will look to build on the experience gained in his
first “Marathon.” Jenny Fontana and Kevin Filipozzi will also start their
second race of the season after strong showings from each rider a week
ago. Fabian Rabensteiner will
start his season after a bout with the flu last week. After having previewed the course, I can attest that a
powerful rider like Fabian could certainly go very well here. Personally, I will restart my season
after a serious last minute mechanical left me with a teammate’s bike and a
front wheel in continuous braking action.
This bike will be used by its owner, not by yours truly tomorrow!
Andrea Righettini, who lives less than 10 km from the race
course is certainly excited about his season debut at home. Though he was certainly knocked down by
a flu virus one week ago, I can say that he knows the course like the back of
his hand. In fact, the last time that
the Italian National Championships were hosted here, Righettini broght home the
Maglia Tricolore as national
champion.
There surely couldn’t be many better places to start out the
2013 season.
The road to the world cup starts here for the FOCUS XC ITALYTEAM!
