The level of cyclocross competitions rises and Trinx Factory Team’s athletes are in.
Archived the first race weekend in Cadoneghe, over the weekend Valentina Corvi and Lucia Bramati competed respectively in Spain (Saturday at the Gran Premio Ciudad de Pontevedra, Sunday at the Internacional Xaxancx) and in Osoppo, where was scheduled the Giro d’Italia Ciclocross second round.
And both athletes have showed significant steps forward compared to the seasonal debut at the 43rd Trofeo Triveneto.
Back in the Iberian Peninsula with the national team jersey after the MTB European Championships in Portugal, the 17-year-old Valentina Corvi showed an excellent shape, taking a solo victory in the Ciclocross Internacional Xaxancx, category C2 race held in Marin.
«We could have achieved more if a puncture hadn't slowed Valentina down when he was in the lead at the GP Ciudad de Pontevedra», says sporting director Luca Bramati.
If the young Corvi gave another confirmation after an exciting season in all off-road disciplines, excellent indications came from Lucia Bramati too (in the photos by Lisa Paletti), who in her second cyclocross race of the season crossed the finish line of Osoppo in fourth place position, best among the Under 23s. The 19-year-old from Sandrigo beated in the sprint one of the peers she faced since the youth categories: the Friulian Alice Papo. But the most significant point is that the two Under 23s finished just a few seconds behind the three leaders, all three Elite.
Next week another check for the two athletes, both expected in international events: the junior Valentina Corvi will join the national team again in Spain, while Lucia Bramati will make her debut abroad in Steinmaur (Switzerland), where will be hosted the Radquer Steinmaur Cyclocross.
