Argentina Bike at Limone Piemonte - a short film by Rock in the Middle

Argentina Bike's young guns Gianluca Vernassa and Carlo Caire are two of Italy's top up and coming racers. The guys at Rock in the Middle caught up with them on a day in between racing and training to film them in the stunning mountains of Limone Piemonte in Northern Italy. Carlo made his World Cup debut this year and while Gianluca was too young to make the step to that level this year, you may have seen him dominating the youth category in this year's IXS Cup series. They are definitely names to watch out for in the next few years...

 I´m from Argentina, but I don´t know what argentina got to do with this. As far as I know, the riders aren´t from Argentina, and the place, is not in Argentina :S

 Bikounet: if you think that Argentina actually is a shop (that is so true), you know more about Argentina than we know about your country ¿¿¿Belgium???. I had to get into your profile to know what flag is this. I thought that belgium was a cheap beer brand...

 Haha, good joke? that's called "culture generale" in french, "general culture" in english I guess... If you don't know where Belgium is, and if you don't know that's a country, you should better take some geography lessons, I thought schools were better than that in South America... ( maybe you'll learn something here www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPPoLauVX94... Because, no, Europe is NOT a country! and France is not the capital of that non-country) Smile

I know you never said Argentina was the center of the world, thank you! But there's maybe something else called "Argentina" that your country, and that would be the reason why their racing team is called Argentina Bike... Maybe? Smile
"They're called Argentina bike because they originally set up in the Argentina valley in Liguria which, incidentally has some of the greatest enduro/DH trails in europe" -> There you go! Wink

 Roby, Gianluca's dad, is the man responsible for starting the trails up here in Molini, although he decided to concentrate on the race team a few years ago now.
