And so, the season has begun!!

Well, the downhill race season is well started and I had already followed some events here and there.
Firstly I was in Switzerland for the first round of the IXS European Downhill Cup, precisely at the Monte Tamaro.
I was there also in 2011, I really like the track and the feelings that this race give to me. This year, like two years ago, the race was cancelled for the bad weather, anyway I was there working for Tri ride and I've anyway produced a gallery with the photos of the saturday's practice runs.

After Monte Tamaro, I went in Sestola, for the first round of the italian downhill championship, called Gravitalia!! I went there on friday evening, with my boss for the Gravitalia's races Romano Favoino. It was a cool weekend apart for the sunday rain and the saturday's late evening earthquake quite near our village that has caused few deads and some destroyed village :(

Last weekend I was in Leogang, Austria. I was there with my girlfriend, to shoot both the 2nd round ot the IXS circuit and the gold event of the FMB world tour, the 26trix contest.
I really loved the place, the organization, the races, the weather, the people :)

Here there are the two galleries I made for tri ride, and following some other shots that weren't published yet!!
