"Pinch me." Those were the first words on my lips this morning as I was sure I could see blue sky outside the window. It was no trick of the eye either, there really were blue skies over Madesimo. Once the sun climbed over the sides of the mountains it started warming up too. The conditions were perfect riding weather - blue skies, not too hot and a touch of wind to dry the trails faster. Throw in some amazing trails, a strong field and a gondola and how could it not be good?
It's starting to look very much like Davide Sottocornola's year. A strong ride at Enduro of Nations at Sauze d'Oulx in two weeks and he may even be able to sew up the overall title with a race to go... You can't deny he's looking like he deserves it though, taking home a win on the most technical round so far and in difficult conditions is a pretty good way to stake your claim for the title.
