The young talented biker from Piedmont Denny Lupato and GIANT Italia Team triumphed in the second stage of Internazionali d'Italia Cross Country 2010 series, which has run off last weekend in Montichiari (Brescia),

Since the beginning of the race, Lupato controlled Andrea Righettini (Arcobaleno Carraro Team) and a trio composed by Austrian Gregor Raggl, Maximilian Vieider and Slovenian Urban Ferencak. His opponents' gap increased during the race, and Lupato was able to manage a technical problem due to his chain in the final lap.

Finally Lupato preceded Righettini for almost 1'. Maximilian Vieider, who preceded Slovenian Urban Ferencak, completed the podium of the Junior Men category.
As the new leader of the Junior Men category, Lupato described his performance, 'the technical track was very difficult because of the new ramps installed by the Organization Committee. I performed greatly, attacking and controlling all my opponents. I managed easily a technical problem during the last lap. I started very well in 2010, confirming and improving what I got in Massa Marittima'.

In the Open Men category, Spaniard Ivan Alvarez Gutierrez, the former rider Francesco Grillo, and U23 Diego Rosa and Bryan Falaschi represented GIANT Italia Team. 'At the moment our main goal is the first round of UCI World Cup in Dalby Forest. We attended Montichiari's race as an important test for our training programme' Alvarez said. Spaniard biker ended at the 9th place in the Open Men category, while his teammate Rosa got the 5th position in the U23 category.
