Tappa tedesca del circuito mondiale gravel: 120 km e 1700 metri di dislivello su un tracciato veloce, scorrevole e poco tecnico. Una gara che, sulla carta, sembrava perfetta per spingere a tutta dall’inizio alla fine. Peccato che non tutto sia andato come previsto. Tra ritmo altissimo e qualche imprevisto, la giornata ha preso una piega diversa. Come sarà andata?

here we are new video new adventure, Obviously we are in the cellar where all our journeys start. This weekend we are headed to Aachen where we will do a gravel race of the UCI Gravel World Series. I will meet up with Simone Pederiva, who is my teammate . It will be just the two of us this weekend racing and we will fly from Venice airport, so, obviously I’m late, I have a flight in about 4 hours so let’s go. Simo Pederiva, what a haircut you gave yourself god. Damages immediately, crazy stuff, new wheels bought from the Chinese market this morning. Come on perfect Let’s go As soon as we landed in Düsseldorf, the first thing we noticed was “pizza snack”. Makes me sick. we’re not there yet., Disgusted. Crazy! What is this stuff? future! astonishing! this is nuts, rented the gangster car As soon as we left the airport where are we? at the OBI. No but there is a reason anyway. explain it to us we want to know. To travel we obviously use the bike suitcase, philosophy moment, but during the trip to The Traka those good people who work at the airport destroyed one of the wheels, so this morning I went to the Chinese market near my house, I got four new wheels. but Agon arrives with the box, he puts it on top, we went 200 m, the wheels broke again. Perfect! and so we are at the OBI but we are in the wrong department in my opinion bro… this is painting eh. because I need them with a pin here, right? that goes on like this, Quite long, long like this. YES but you are from the sector you buddy, you should work here. Eh this morning I had to swear a bit. What a driver, Incredible too much technology anyway we are not used to this stuff here… you let go of the accelerator, the car brakes, electric, hybrid, cameras, navigation, this way that way, pi pi pi, pu pu pu… we are stuck to 90s iron scraps, Mercedes Vito, real men’s stuff… we are doing the healthiest shopping ever, like eggs, Greek yogurt, Haribo sweets, jam, bananas, chicken… I don’t know what you say Pede? I don’t know it seems a bit too healthy eh… Yes no indeed… we are exaggerating. too many professional here. we can still save it! Here be careful it is already starting to get interesting… Magnum, yes yes yes yes yes. Good, shopping is done but we gave in for some dark chocolate biscuits, but come on it is healthy. We were good, we could have gotten some junk instead, but… Be careful we have arrived at the house, Let’s see what awaits us… Wow, it’s not bad, It’s not bad. Be careful! Wow, cool, Very good! We have a beautiful room, All in wood, and this is the other room and this is the view of the stairs on the gangsters’ car. Well fun fact, we locked out our selves of the house, I mean we didn’t even have time to get in… so while the owner arrives we optimize the time and mount the bikes, Perfect! Oh God if you told me it was the door over there, I could go to get the spare keys… But seriously, they’re out there. the spare keys are out there… €70 for what? Look, it’s your fault, I had nothing to do with it… AGON *** Chicken and rice, let’s see how much rice we have here… look here, Perfect there are only two of us but it’s okay… Ouch, it’s hot! Here we are Day number two on German soil with our Simo Pede, Direction number collection, Let’s go and dive the water bottles for the feed, And nada vamos! And it’s immediately Kansas, where are we? at Unbound? Crazy! perfect 1322 and 1064… top god, lok at this Haribo Numbers taken Now we go back to base, have lunch, because absurdly the departure is at 3:30 pm and among other things they just told us that in 4 hours an incredible storm will arrive, which judging by the sky now I would say no, but never say never, so we’ll see… Now we go back home, eat and legs in the air Well we had lunch, Now we prepare some stuff, the last things, Let’s put the number on the bike, let’s put the number on the body, Vamos… Simo Pederiva in chill As expected, I think we’ll have a shower… Don’t think about it Incredible how in 3 hours, not even, like in the last 2 hours we passed from sun scorching, 31°C, to this stuff! TOP! We are late as always, Ready, steady, go, let’s enter the grid. Let’s just hope we don’t get wet A few moments later Here we are After getting wet for a good 15 minutes on the grid, we set off for the UCI 3Rides in Aachen, and it was quite humid, it was almost hard to breathe because the sun came out right after, so it was quite hot. In addition, after all the rain it had just rained, it was quite humid, and so obviously mass start as always, strangely a downhill start. Usually the starts are uphill but here we are special and so a downhill start at full tilt, and we were a good group. Our category was about 600 starters, so we had to get to the front of the group straight away, because otherwise we would get stuck in the curves etc. And the way they race here in the Nordic countries always leaves me a bit astonished, let’s say, because they really go at full tilt, they go on fire the whole time, out of every corner 1200 W at full blast, and they never let go of the accelerator, always at full blast, that is, they start at full blast from the first minute and they get to the end at full blast, so really a very different way of racing compared to ours where you still manage it much more. To be clear, in the first 45 minutes I obtained a normalized power of 340 W and an average of 175 heartbeats, so full gas practically all the time, at an average of 37 kph, but it ‘s ok, it’s very training, for legs and pace, so it’s good to change by doing these types of races at a very different pace compared to what we’re usually used to. The route in my opinion was super nice, because it was very smooth, nice wide roads, there was little technical so it was let’s say real gravel and there were only a few roots in some places etc. but it was very very smooth, you could reach really high speeds, and I also found it fun, and this doesn’t mean it was trivial, in the sense that you still had to know how to ride the bike quite well, because at the bends people continued to crash out and so you still had to know how to handle the bike. Unfortunately my race didn’t last long because at about the 50th minute while I was following a group downhill I didn’t see a rock and I hit it full on, and strangely I didn’t puncture but I actually destroyed the rim, so the tire wasn’t on the rim’s bead anymore, air was coming out and so I had to retire because there was just no way to continue. Very good, Here we go again, Oh my goodness, I can’t do races like this, eh Perfect Bad luck strikes again Go Simo That’s it, It’s incredible bad luck this year, there isn’t a race, not even one, that goes smoothly, this is embarrassing Alè Alè Alè Alè Alè Alè Alè Alè do you need water? yes thanks. Go Alè, Duro go, 3 minutes From the first, Go leads Duro go go go go A dead man Perfect Here we go Simo Pederiva He’s finally arrived too, And what can I say, a bit of an unlucky weekend. great track not very technical, flowed really well, First hour on fire, crazy pace, after which I break the rim and nothing I go to the finish and wait for Simo Pede who did a great race, until the last hour where he then exploded. oh yeah come on I’m getting the hang of it. Madness anyway to go from racing the World Cup of cross country cross with an hour full gas and then passing to 5 hour gravel races, just like it was normal. Yes indeed the results are visible, no but come on I’m quite satisfied, I mean I was pedaling hard because I was in front and then I had to give up. Well it will take a few races to get the hang of it, Then… it’s part of the process Vamos my conquests let’s see Pederiva’s load right away, 4 days, Very good, Perfect. what are yourFeelings? Terrible, I’d like to die. but after eating a kebab. Perfect! I didn’t do anything today, not very good, Let’s see the damage here…. Here we go, broke everything… You broke everything brother, you broke everything. Look at how it moves… you said you knew how to do it, Brother. I had nothing to do with it, it’s not my fault… It’s all blown out Brother! Didn’t you know this hit? No, man. look at it, look! Let’s hear it… Guys, go listen to this: “L’Uomo tigre”. Perfect, Thanks Simo for these pearls, Even when you’re tired you’re always on the ball, Number one. a thing with spinach, second round, Since the kebab has practically disappeared So, day after the race, By now we’ve already packed everything up, We’re heading to Düsseldorf and we’ll go and eat something, and then at 4:00 pm we’ll return the car, and we’ll fly home. The report in my opinion is of a positive trip, right? yes, we had fun. Anyway, the fact that we didn’t have, let’s say, the support of the team, because they’re all in America at Unbound to race so we were, let’s say, alone and so we had to do a bit of everything: car rental, apartment, etc., but that’s fine because in my opinion it’s a formative thing, it’s all experience. he made us mature even in making do with everything, we made our blunders, but come on as they say “you learn from your mistakes”, Now we are also experienced in making do. Exactly, come on until next time. Now direction airport, No first let’s eat man, Oh right Now direction Düsseldorf, let’s eat, Because even if we don’t pedal today we are still hungry… Last night I woke up with a hunger crisis damn, chemical hunger, if I had a gel to get to the bathroom, I would have it though. Madness!! Bed – bathroom with gel, crazy stuff! Perfect! reduced like this and Düsseldorf, hamburger. This thing is killing me! I mean it makes no sense, Madness like children, I mean we see a train passing by and we become children again. And obviously this time too an hour late, Perfect. Come on sponsor me, give me a travel bag uncle pear because I’m here making a mess every time, like this, on two wheels, go like this! And if there are no ramps, off we go! Here we are, we have finally arrived, Our journey comes to an end. We arrived in Venice with only 1h40 of delay, Very good! Well, come on, they also shortened the delay times… and so nada, this was our short but intense weekend, and if you haven’t subscribed, subscribe now; if you don’t follow us on Instagram, follow us!
