Merida Italia Team at the nationals: everyone on the podium! Two parallel transfers for the national championships in Italy and Estonia, which have been concluded with many medals for the crew.conclusi con tante medaglie per i nostri.
We begin by Estonia: Martin Loo is again the strongest in crosscountry discipline. The guy from Tallin gives to Merida Italia Team the blue-black-white jersey even in 2014 season, right crowning of many beautiful results in the international arena. Moving to Italy, Gorizia has staged the show tricolor: a triumph! In the Juniores race Alessandro Naspi (already ruler of Internazionali d'Italia Series), puts all lined up right from the start, but He had to fight hard with the home favorite Moreno Pellizzon. Shortly after the middle of the race, however, Alexander made a progression that proved fatal to their
opponents, winning the race in one hour and eighteen minutes. Twelve years have passed since the last tricolor jersey won by the team: 2002 when Marco Aurelio Fontana won his first national title. 11.30 am was the start time of the Under23 race, with the riders of Merida Italia Team still favorites. But to dull on everyone was Andrea Righettini, athlete of the Focus XC Team Italy, after a hard-fought race. Stefano Valdrighi in fact has coped up the opponent until the last few meters of the race, but had to settling for the silver medal. That's not all: in third place another athlete of Merida Italia Team: Gioele Bertolini, and still Samparisi Lorenzo fourth, and again in fifth Mattia Setti! These results again confirm that the project of Merida italia Team really represents the "new advances" of the Italian MTB. Even more so at this time, therefore the staff wants to express its gratitude to the sponsors who have made this possible.
