Colledani grazes top ten in Olympic preview


The Team Bianchi Countervail riders spent a fascinating weekend in Izu (Japan), where the Olympic test event took place on Sunday 6th, in the location where the Tokyo 2020 Mountain Bike Cross Country medals will be awarded. A valuable experience for Nadir Colledani, Stephane Tempier and Chiara Teocchi – all competing with their respective national teams – to get acquainted with the threats of a course that everybody called particularly demanding, in view of a possible selection for the Olympic Games next summer.

Colledani achieved the best result among the Team athletes, finishing 12th (+1.31) in the men’s race won by reigning World and Olympic Champion Nino Schurter. In the same race, Stephane Tempier (+3.02) placed 19th, while Chiara Teocchi finished in 26th position (+9.26) in the women’s race won by Swiss Jolanda Neff.
