The Aosta-Becca di Nona is a mountain race, even a sky race, which belongs to the small group of racing-event.
It 's the most important part of the Valle d'Aosta, where the commitment of local athletes and organizational resources is at most regional.
There is usually a qualified participation also from other regions, particularly in Piedmont and Lombardy Triveneto, as well as from France, Switzerland and Spain and this not only possible to establish contacts and relationships, helps to sharpen the real sporting values \u200b\u200bin field . The
Becca di Nona, 3,142 m high, has a sleek profile and hangs from Aosta on the south side. From Piazza
Chanoux, salottto the city and place of departure, at an altitude of 570, he sees perfectly the top, as seen from the top of the city, with avenues and buildings, and perhaps even a banner start.
A challenge from the ancient taste: ascend and descend by Becca, uphill climb of 2600 meters, then go back down. Check final
near the place of departure, Felinaz Plan, where there are sports facilities Charvensod with showers, kitchen and every comfort. Total about 30 km. A typhoid
incredible, lots of people along the route, with the crest of the hill and the top covered with over a hundred people, including spectators and fans hikers. Cameraman
Rai and Sky, professional and amateur photographers everywhere, a helicopter hovers overhead roaring all morning.
The route is well marked and takes place on relatively good roads and rough trails. The slope, however, is always strong, and fierce un'infilata continuous long climbs. Exciting
the last part, beyond the 2,500 m with the path that climbs steeply up a huge heap of stones to get to the Col Carrel, with Federigo Bivouac high above his head, and from there to rise again towards the summit ridge. In front, near the north wall dell'Emilius.
A lot is up, however, also down, to be held often at full speed
background clean and fast, but very steep.
So in extreme cases, which generally occur after three / four / hours of racing, requiring prudence, experience, attention to detail
style down, shoes, socks, sticks, etc.
.
On this basis the participation is small but very qualified.
This year has been reached, however, the record of participants, about 300 total, divided between the two gareche take place simultaneously, 'up & down', and 'one up'.
"It takes courage to put in some banners
This is the account that I Pino and Ruis we exchange to relieve each other. We left at six
from Cascine Vica, we came among the first in Chanoux Square, and enjoy the arrival of the participants in dribs and drabs. The first we see is called Paul Rinaldi, Bergamo, come 7 th overall. Then here Emanuela Brizio, world champion,
friendly and available for a photo, talks about the Trofeo Kima , who won last week, graduating World Champion. Here then Raffaella Miravalle, the wheel guard, wonderful sky outsider elite runners, won a lot this year, but still does not stop to amaze. Here again, Roberto Giacchetto, the young winner Royal Sky Ultra Marathon 2010. I see mention a small extension of heating, has elastic and feline movements.
looks like a talented outsider, not hyper, mostly as the others around, but going strong and enjoys the same.
then I see Ornella Bosco reappearance after a long period of injury, Giancarlo Costa, strong athlete and expert commentator Running Passion, I recognize Giuliano Cavallo, the ruler of the Trail dellaValdigne, and gradually a few appearances in Piedmont, not random: Roberto Garbati, Silvio Galliano, Charles Degiorgio, the animator of 3 Shelters Val Pellice, Marina Plavan, Alma Rrikka, Paola Didero, Lelio Boaglio, Massimo Pezzetti, Dominic Morello. All people roasts, unperturbed. How to say 'When the going gets tough ...'.
"It will be a success not get past" whispers Pino. But now we are locked in the lions' enclosure. Let's go.
Take now the Avenue of the Conseil des Commis, look up, Becca above the top of my head .. Cross the railway line of the subway station, then the bridge over the Dora and after two hundred meters in plan. ... Go with the dances .. climb, climb and still climbing.
The race takes place in an absolutely regular, discrete-time departure, in bright sunshine and clear air on top of Becca, a magnificent 360 ° views, Mount Emilius, the Grand Combin, Finally, the Group and the Grivola Rutor. Occhiate well in the distance on one side of Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn on the other.
But this can be seen from the above photos Pino Ruis is used to do 'in progress', from the race, and I must say it deserves in the warm thanks of all. Must be a good additional effort, even psychological.
However we managed to get not just between the last .. Pino is very satisfied, reconciled with the great mountain due to bad weather after the sinking of his participation in the Mont Blanc.
I am also happy, even if I did the second half of the descent almost walking, for a strong pain in my toes. Precisely the problems of the descent of the shoes .... I said above.
Before there was a dramatic duel between world champion Emanuela Brizio and Raffaella Miravalle. Emily was perhaps the Kima in the legs, but Raffaella attacked, took the lead at the top, only to be put in the crosshairs down and beaten in a sprint finish to one meter! Behind them the void. Grande Raffaella! Emanuela Brava.
In the men Dennis Brunod, favorite local ruler of the latest editions, is beaten to just 42 "from Friuli Tadei PIVKA leader the specialty of the Italian Championship. Dennis sincere recognition of the superiority of the adversary. Two giants!
In third place, 10 minutes later, Paul Gotti.
In the race to climb alone, the great enterprise of Ornella Bosco, who hits a target the king. Predicted by few, but that obviously knew what was going on, after a running-race child, returning in a big race after almost two years of absence due to injury. A great success for
Silvio Galliano, who arrives first in the ranking of the Master's race alone climb. Sumptuous
the preparation of the finish area, with every comfort available and the perfect organization awards.
