What number of Franco Collé: in 4h30''45 "sets the record of ascent and descent from Monte Rosa

Beaten Brunod after 23 years, for the Aosta Valley a company signed in the downhill stretch from Colle del Lys.

It is an extraordinary feat, the one signed by Franco Collé on the mountain symbol of its territory. Athlete in the Karpos-Hoka One One, the two-time winner of a legendary race like the Tor de Géants, has set the new record of ascent and descent from Monte Rosa, stopping the time trial on the overall time of 4h30''45 " . Improved by 14''15 "the time trial of Brunod that dated back to 1997, Collé made the difference in the stretch from the Lys down, after the departure from the heart of Gressoney-La-Trinité to face the 31 km of a path made even hard from the high temperatures of the last few days, with the passage to the 4554 m of Capanna Margherita, then to the Mantova refuge, Capanna Gnifetti and Colle del Lys. "After passing the halfway point, in the following descent the conditions were optimal and allowed me to make an excellent performance," said the ultra Valle d'Aosta runner after signing a real feat.
