Comme chaque dernier dimanche de juillet, le petit village transalpin de Premana est devenu la capitale mondiale du skyrunning. Et encore plus cette année, donc le Giir di Mont était le Championnat du Monde ISF, et les meilleurs spécialistes de la discipline étaient présents.
The "sfida" was announced between Marco de Gasperi and I, the six times world champion race assembly, but also very powerful in skyrunning, so he had his appearances with wins and records, as Climbathon in Malasi, Valmalenco Valposchiavo, or Sierre Zinal where he won with the second fastest time. For me, Marco was not an opponent, so I dreamed of following a few kilometers before he was leaving, and I feared more for the size of coureus Ricardo Mejia, Tofol Castanyer, Agustí Roc Jessed Hénand or the many Italian .
Premana is synonymous with festival of sport, and at 8am, the 600 riders are left between the screams of the enthusiastic public. Already in the first run of 200m, Marco de Gasperi and I left the group and pursuing a penalty of up to 100 meters I knew this race was for us a hard "battle" two for the 32km us remained. A hell of a pace, we passed the first two climbs and descents with constant attacks from both trying to leave, but someone answers. I was convinced that if neither left, we play to win the sprint in the climb Premana.
A record pace we arrived at the foot of the third and final climb of the Monte di Giir, and Marco in the first part has a very high rate to try. It was very hard but I managed to stay in school and in the sharp rise in the pasture of Pemaniga when Marco S'A started walking, I saw that this was the moment: All or nothing, c That was probably the last opportunity for me. I have given everything in three or four minutes, was behind Marco. 20m, 30m, 50m ... 100m. I looked back and I went to background in the final kilometers of the race, hoping that the advantage was enough to keep it until the end of the descent. In my head I saw Marco reach block on the descent, and for that I took many risks in the last 5 km of descent that led us to Premana.
There was joy. Among the spectators who were waiting at the finish I could not keep the tears, the emotion was too ... There are races that make you think that those you want to win and there are dreams that you win. There, I was beyond dreams.
The record fell by almost 5 minutes, but it was obvious in a race with this set. Marco came in second three minutes later and Luis third 10 minutes later. Among girls, also a record that falls from almost 15 ', by Laetitia Roux before Mireia Miró and Emanuela Brizio. Vive le ski! 4 places in the podium!
Maintenaint is time for some rest and prepare Sierre Zinal, and we expect another "sfida" also very hard on the brothers Demateis, Tarcisio, Flo ...
