(google translate)In Italy, the first edition of the national championships XCE, organized by the staff of the Sella Ronda Hero, a certainty in terms of seriousness. In the men we saw a pleasant surprise, namely the victory of Elia Silvestri, very strong but in cyclocross bike (this year running with Full Dynamix) had never been seen in the top positions. Among women Oberparleiter Anna beats favorite Eva Lechner.
The XC Eliminator was held on a course 370 meters long and 20 meters in altitude, to be repeated twice, on a land composed of pavé and asphalt with natural and artificial obstacles. Among men Elia Silvestri clearly wins ahead of Luca Damiani (Stihl Torrevilla). Third Italian champion XC Mirko Tabacchi with Andrea Righettini (Focus XC Team Italy) who finishes in 4th place.
Among the women won Oberparleiter Anna (Arcobaleno Carraro) that was imposed in the final against Eva Lechner (Colnago), big favorite but perhaps paid the hard training he is doing for the World Cup XC. However, on the honor to Oberparleiter, already placed in the World Cup XCE. Third was ranked Alessia Bulleri (Forestale).
