After Brugherio and Silvelle di Trebaseleghe, the Italian National Champion grabbed another prestigious success in Faè di Oderzo.
Brugherio, Silvelle di Trebaseleghe, Faè di Oderzo: Gioele Bertolini is shining in the most important events of the Italian cyclocross season. The 22-year-old Italian National Champion had another prestigious success, topping the 16th edition of the Ciclocross del Ponte, on Friday December 8th.
Selle Italia Guerciotti’s rider, broke the supremacy of foreign athletes, preceding the winners of the three last editions, Belgian Vincent Baestaens, second, and the German National Champion Marcel Meisen that completed the day’s podium.
Meisen and Baestaens tried to up in the first lap, but Bertolini quickly closed the gap, stressing the pace in the second lap.
Meisen could not follow Bertolini, due to the Italian’s better skills on hurdles and hairpins, while Baestaens fought for success until the penultimate passage, when he slipped losing the eye contact with the leader. Bertolini continued in his action, claiming a solo win on the finish line.
Bertolini’s teammate, Northwave’s Jakob Dorigoni, finished eighth. Tenth place for Antonio Folcarelli.
