It covered a distance of 16 kilometers with 1,185m of elevation gain. Athletes climbed to a maximum altitude of 700 meters and passed near the mid-station of the Monte Baldo cable car before plunging headlong toward the finish line in Malcesine. Looking at the clock, Stefano Gardener showed no mercy. He took a record-breaking win in 1h22\u201927\u201d, ahead of the timeless Emanuele Manzi (1h25\u201957\u201d) and the excellent Denny Ghidotti (1h26\u201926\u201d).    <\/p>\n<p>In the women&#8217;s category, yet another victory for Trentino&#8217;s Alessia Scaini, who smashed her own previous record.

Joining her on the podium were Alessia Pozzi (1h49\u201958\u201d) and Federica Panciera (1h50\u201931\u201d).<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p><strong>FOR VRM TEAM ASD TIME FOR BUDGETS AND NEW GOALS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00abThanks to optimal weather, we can say this fifth edition went really well,\u00bb declared Claudio Arduini. \u00abDespite an increasingly chaotic race calendar, we have grown in numbers and in the international reach of the event. This means we are working well. Now the goal is to keep growing, but step by step\u2026 without rushing.\u00bb Going into detail, Arduini continued: \u00abAs a team, we have great experience in road races, but we are relatively young in off-road events. That\u2019s why we never wanted to go full throttle on MBT. We know the event still has room for improvement. A key step will be finding the perfect spot in the calendar. For next year and future editions, we will move it forward by one week.
