Italy, you beautiful thing! Thank you for hosting at your new, incredible venue @vittoriapark_official , we could not have asked for a more immaculate setting for the Italian Qualifier. In the Women’s category it was current World Champ Christa von Niederhaeusern who took no prisoners and showed exactly why she is wearing those rainbow stripes by securing her 1st place on the podium in a time of 20.438 against newcomer Zoe Feuvrier from France. It was a third place for Slovakia’s Kristína NOVÁKOVÁ and a 4th for Sara FARINA.

Local rider Mattia Costerman secured his place in Argentina in a time a time of 18.630 against

French rider Thibault Dupont’s 18.666 in very close Men’s category. Thibault recovering from a broken wrist, looks to be back to his best form real soon. A third place for the young Swiss rider Tanguy GRANDJEAN and a 4th for Max van Eijndhoven on a 24” after his crash in UK Qualifer last week. The race for the World Final sure is starting to take shape and we're excited!
