On Sunday, April 26, the town of Montorfano (Como) will host the ACSI MTB XC National Championship, one of the most anticipated events in the Italian mountain biking calendar. Organized by TRB HERSH, the event will kick off with the “1st TRB Trophy – Celac Trasporti,” a day that promises excitement, adrenaline, and top-level sport for all cross-country enthusiasts.

Participants will gather at 7:30 AM at the scenic Lido di Montorfano, the starting point of an event entirely dedicated to the passion for MTB. The race will also count as the fifth round of the Master Cicli Pozzi circuit, adding further prestige to an already highly regarded competition.

The course, designed to highlight the technical features of the discipline, consists of an 8.3 km loop with an elevation gain of 260 meters per lap. From the Lido, riders will climb towards Capiago, tackling single-track sections through the woods, before descending towards Lipomo via five technical sections with jumps, complemented by alternative lines (chicken lines) to ensure accessibility for all skill levels. The route, entirely off-road and immersed in nature, will offer bikers an intense and authentic experience, combining rhythm, technique, and scenic landscapes.

It will be a day full of emotions: some riders will aim to win the national jersey, while others will strive for a podium finish to make this experience unforgettable. In any case, the show is guaranteed.

The TRB Hersh organizing committee will provide full pre- and post-race services, with particular attention to safety along the entire course, also thanks to the presence of numerous volunteers. Showers, a bike wash area, and the possibility to have lunch at a discounted price will be available.

For those traveling by camper, accommodation will be available at Camping Montorfano, about 1 km away, or in the parking area adjacent to the Lido. In addition, starting from Friday, the course will be fully marked to allow course inspections.

Special thanks go to the municipalities of Montorfano, Capiago Intimiano, and Lipomo, to the sponsors Celac Trasporti, Ranesi Bike Center, Tenuta Livenza, Ridewill, WAG, BCC Cantù, Hersh, Autoviemme Como, Lido di Montorfano, and to everyone contributing to the organization of this major event.

Don’t miss it: the spectacle of mountain biking awaits you!

There couldn’t be a better title than the slogan of the Granfondo Gavia and Mortirolo: where Eagles dare! 

An outstanding performance by our Francesco Figini, who, accompanied by his RF915, brings home an incredible result: 1st overall in the medium route with a full 4 minutes lead over the second place. 

The result confirms his physical form and strengthens the bond with our new model, which makes him fly where only Eagles dare.

Francesco Figini, our ambassador and friend, took on the challenge of Teide! How? During the Granfondo Vuelta al Teide, with 4400 meters of elevation gain, he pushed himself and our new bike to the limits: the HERSH RF915!

Since the beginning of the year, some of our top athletes have been testing it in every condition and at all altitudes. We will officially present it to the public in September with free test rides in Misano during the IBF 2024 fair.

As we mentioned in the title, the RF915 took us higher, much higher! Its performance only confirmed its value, and the 2nd place feels like a 1st place to us!

Thanks again and congratulations to our Francesco!

On Wednesday, February 21st, an event was held with students from schools in Laigueglia, one week before the 61st edition of the Trofeo Laigueglia scheduled for Wednesday, February 28th. Mayor Giorgio Manfredi was also present, while teacher and city councilor Lucia Facchineri coordinated the initiative. Marco Pavarini, Raffaele Fumagalli, and Matteo Conforti addressed the young students, narrating the history of the Trofeo and its significance for the territory, as well as providing insights related to road safety.

For decades, the Trofeo Laigueglia has been an important international cycling event and a promotional tool for the Ligurian Riviera. The 61st edition of the international race for professional cyclists will take place on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, and as preparations for the sporting event are underway, the Trofeo Laigueglia has… also entered the schools. This happened on Wednesday, February 21st, involving both primary and secondary schools of the village nestled between Capo Mele and Capo Santa Croce.

The initiative, which also saw the participation of Mayor Giorgio Manfredi and was coordinated by teacher and city councilor Lucia Facchineri, involved various figures from the world of cycling who were able to share the value of cycling and the Trofeo Laigueglia from different perspectives.

Among those who spoke to the students was Marco Pavarini, director – alongside Marco Selleri – of ExtraGiro, the company appointed by the Municipality of Laigueglia for the technical organization of the Trofeo. Pavarini talked to the students about the importance of sporting events like the Trofeo Laigueglia in promoting and showcasing the territory, and its relevance for operators working in the area. He recalled how this tradition originated from the commitment of their grandparents and the generation who conceived the event in the sixties.

Raffaele Fumagalli also intervened on behalf of ACSI Cycling, a sports promotion organization chaired by Emiliano Borgna, engaging students in a journey towards cycling and bicycle awareness and road safety education. Matteo Conforti, a former cyclist who now works as an Advertising agent for BiciSport and Cicloturismo shared more insights about the world of cycling, both from a competitive and touristic perspective, offering additional inspiration to children and teenagers.

It was a valuable educational moment dedicated to the history of the Trofeo Laigueglia, an important event for a territory always in love with cycling and its athletes, and to the promotion among young people of bicycles, an instrument that is an integral part of the development of more sustainable mobility and of which today’s youth will be tomorrow’s key actors
