CORTENOVA – The Valsassina who does business in Valsassina (as well as in Italy and Europe): Matteo Grattarola from Margno, punctually followed by correspondents from VNcompeted brilliantly during the weekend of the World Championship hosted in Cortenova and surrounding areas, emerging with a double podium: yesterday second behind the only, very great Toni Boutoday Sunday still on the podium, the only Italian among the Spanish “invaders”, all placed between first and fifth place.
Great satisfaction for Theomathis minder from Cremeno Angelo Colomboteam, supporters and Valsassinesi all.
Today’s third place deserves applause and confirms the international value of our standard bearer, capable of overcoming legendary exponents of the specialty such as Adam Raga:
In the images taken by our photojournalist Giorgio Formenti the highlights of the two days of world competitions, featuring the ace of the Alta Valle but not only. Between natural, artificial and… flangesthe applause – deserved – for Matteo and his staff.
Hoping that our territory, now widely “cleared” in the empyrean of the world Trial, will return more and more often to act as a backdrop to the trials of this exciting sport, so well represented by a high-level standard bearer from Valsassi – with good quality supporting players from Lecco .
Now, in the world ranking Matteo is fifth overall, a few points behind those in front of him and therefore one step away from the podium.
In the two rounds of the Italian GP, he scored more points – 32 – than anyone ahead of him (except the unreachable Toni Bou – here on the left with a thumbs up to the photographer of VN), a very clear sign of the very high-ranking ambitions of our exceptional man Theomat.
