Riccò record on the Sainte Baume
It started today hunting record uphill from the ' Cobra Formigine 'Riccardo Riccò , who opens the dance of his trip to France with the 'rise to the Sainte Baume . The Cobra has in fact climbed the locality Marseille, theater scene also the Tour de France a few years ago, in 20 minutes and 7 seconds so signing a new record uphill. "Feeling good, I felt good as when I was racing" declares Riccò , and in fact it is the data of your SRM to confirm: 406 watts of average driven for about twenty minutes, which a proportion of its weight of 58kg give a value of 7 watts / kg ... you got it! Performance then nothing short of monstrous than the stage winner of the Three Peaks to the 2007 Giro . Tomorrow there will be a test on Mount Ventoux , where Riccardo having failed to break the record of Iban Maio earlier this year will test the leg in anticipation Friday, the day when weather permitting will try again in the fastest time. See him so determined is just a show, the Cobra really seems to be back to the times of 'gold, when on the climb of the Col d 'Aspin was stronger than the motion of the French television, or when the Presolana in 2008 was going to win the moral victory of Giro , who then had to give in to Alberto Pistolero for just four seconds.
Appointment then at Friday 26, also weather permitting.
