Yesterday we ran in Pogno la7 edition of Enduro of Owls.
It was the last race before highly anticipated round of the Italian Championship that will take place on the rocky paths of Sestri Levante on 16/17 April and so it was a great test of our condition and above all to make a little ‘race pace.
The weather for the weekend was very uncertain and changing every day giving rain at first then changed in just a few hours later; at the end of the Sabbath was a bit ‘cloudy with a few rain drops only in the night and on Sundays instead we were spared bagnandoci only a little bit of the transfer to the final PS. Despite this, however, the ground was slippery with the rain of the previous days and then it was the first race of the season with mud tires.
The competition consisted of 3 stages with two completely new and unpublished while the PS1 was now very classical Rasco-2000. Just on this, which was the first of the day, the gaps were very minimal with Denny that closes in third place just behind the winner 0,7sec special Sottocornola while Alex finished fourth at 1.5sec off the pace.
In PS2 however the best time it does mark Raimondi, that after this special springs also in command of the general, with 2sec ahead of Alex (2nd) and 5sec on Denny (3rd).
After the A.C. and with only a special remaining test the gaps were quite content with Raimondi to control the race after just under 4sec Alex, about 6 sec, and Denny was in fourth place at 8 sec behind the leader was Sottocornola.
The PS3, this completely new, was the longest of the race and so nothing was written.
Even though in this special time is the best Raimondi that trims 3sec Denny and 8sec Alex, also because of a fall. With these postings then Denny gets over Alex again in the final standings and finished 2nd and 3rd respectively.
It ‘was a great workout and a good day of enduro on three very funny and complete special stages, the perfect way to get more than in Sestri Levante ready and loads.
