Sun, sea and a lot of fun characterised the third event of XX Maremma Cup 2010, running off in Porto Santo Stefano. The kermesse has been leaded by Rudi Van Houts. Last Saturday Massa Marittima hosted one of the events composing XX Maremma Cup 2010, while last Sunday Italia Winter Championships took place.
Meanwhile all the bikers travelled to Monte Argentario. In the waterfront of Porto Santo Stefano, a quick track with some technical curves has been predisposed to test the grit of the most talented worldwide bikers. Fans and spectators have a lot of fun looking at the fights.

The sea framed this amazing show characterising the event called "XX Maremma Cup 2010 series". Marco Aurelio Fontana leaded the first manche, but in the final Merida's teammates forced him to slow down. Fontana aggressively performed and overcame Van Houts and Andreas Kugler, but Merida's teammates controlled 2010 XCO Italian National Champion. 4th place for Patrik Gallati, whose performance represented the best result for Swiss National Team.
In the second finale, Michele Casagrande preceded Marcel Wildhaber, Tim Wynants and ex Olympic Champion Bart Brentjens.
