We will describe the incredible and amazing competition, which has been hardly fought in the lanes of Massa Marittima and attended by the most important international mountain bikers. The greatest protagonists Schurter, Vogel, Fontana, Näf and Brentjens didn't finish the race, and the final victory goes to Swiss Andreas Kugler and Nathalie Schneitter.

In the city centre of Massa Marittima the 2nd edition of the kermesse called "XX Maremma Cup" was finally inaugurate. Starting from the churchyard of the Cathedral, the athletes performed upon the stairs, then in the technical lanes of the historical centre of Massa Marittima.

Such an amazing and high-level melee characterised the entire competition. The most interesting moments happened in the first part of the race, when the greatest protagonists have forced to retire. World Champion Nino Schurter, Swiss National Champion Florian Vogel, Italian National Champion Marco Aurelio Fontana and the winner of 2009 edition Ralph Näf didn't qualify for the final part of the race. Dutch and ex Olympic Champion Bart Brentjens was not able to deal with a technical problem, which forced him to retire prematurely.

In the 3-laps final section, Kugler leaded the race preceding Kaufmann, Genze and Milatz. In the second lap, Kugler controlled the situation while Genze was not able to overcome Swiss biker. Thanks to his mistake, Milatz and Kaufmann took advantage on him. Finally Andrea Kugler (Merida) preceded his teammate Milatz Moritz. 3rd place for Kaufmann.

L'INTERVISTA
Cathy Prendel
Nel 2011 ha stupito tutti, conquistando la maglia iridata a Champery. Ora, nonostante la maglia di campionessa del mondo la canadese si trova davanti ad un bivio: puntare tutto alla conferma della maglia appena conquistata o tentare l'assalto all'oro olimpico. E dalle sue parole risulta subito chiaro che nel 2012 il suo obiettivo numero 1 sono le Olimpiadi di Londra.
