On Saturday I established a new personal record at the climb of Campocroce , or better at the climb of Monte Grappa. That route section is part of the 14th stage of this year`s Giro d`Italia. I had ridden up from Semonzo within 32 minutes and 58 seconds. This is a new personal best and it is even more significant because my former record had been established last year in August after a high altitude training. This fact confirms that I am really in a good shape. I had started climbing in a regular rhythm without pushing too much but when I realized that I had good legs I decided to test myself. I was quite surprised of my time. It is really a pity that I couldn`t take part in Liège - Bastogne - Liège because for sure I would have been a protagonist.
Today at 21:00hrs I am a guest on the TV show “Teleciclismo” that will be transmitted on Telechiara. If you want to watch me, just turn on the TV ;-)
As the temperature definitely increased I am going to do a long ride on the plateau of Asiago. It will be the last intense training before the race in Frankfurt. I know that I am in a good shape and therefore I have to focus on maintaining it as long as possible.
