A new alpine legend is born, its name is MONTEROSA PRESTIGE. The new challenge is at the foot of Monte Rose and Matterhorn, in Aosta Valley (Italia).
THE BEGINNING, JULY, 15 2018
Debuted in 2018 with over 300 participants, MONTEROSA PRESTIGE, also called the mountainbike marathon of Valle d'Aosta, is the new big challenge for all the fat wheels lovers.
With one of the most difficult routes on Alps, with a unique view of the highest massifs in Europe, from Monte Rose to Mont Blanc, through the Matterhorn and Gran Paradiso, and with a fantastic path through beautiful and fun single tracks, MONTEROSA PRESTIGE is nominated to become a legendary event within the mountainbike races on the Alps.
Last year, at the debut of the event, the absolute victory was Colombian with DIEGO ARIAS CUERVO, Team Giant-Liv Polimedical with just 5 hours and 12 minutes on an EXTREME route of 98 km for 4025 D +. Diego was accompanied on the podium by JACOPO BILLI of Team Olympia in 2nd place and his teammate LEONARDO PAEZ who, due to some punctures, had to settle for third place.
