Probably the speech to the Italian title male allround sar & agrave; a deal to resolve family. Accomplice l & rsquo; absence of Andrea Giovannini (sample "Absolute" a year ago), the brothers Stefani vie for leadership now. The two asiaghesi drive ahead of the competition. In the first position c & rsquo; & egrave; whichever is greater, Luca. L & rsquo; experienced 27 year-old, world silver with Team Pursuit blue in 2008, leads the standings. The skater registered with the Flames Gold Moena dominated both races of the day. First he set his seal winning at the end of 500, where & egrave; the best result in 37 & rsquo; & rsquo; 74, in front of the specialist Francesco Tescari (SC Pergine), according to the distance pi & ugrave; short in 37 & rsquo; & rsquo; 94. Third place among the sprinters for Alessio Trentini (VG Pergine) stopped the clock at 38 & rsquo; & rsquo; 03. Fourth brother of the winner, Andrea.
Ed & egrave; was just the 20 year old Andrea Stefani to contend victory in & nbsp; after & nbsp; 5000 meters. In 6 & rsquo; 59 & rsquo; & rsquo; 66 & ndash; lowered personal best by more than five seconds - you place behind Luca (first time in 6 & rsquo; 54 & rsquo; & rsquo; 89). Third another specialist of medium to long distances as Marco Cignini, l & rsquo; d last year & rsquo; silver in general & ndash; able to run in 7 & rsquo; 05 & rsquo; & rsquo; 37. Behind him, one of the great surprises of the season blue: Fabio Francolini. The driver of the GC Noale & ndash; Only one entry to the tricolor Allround & ndash; risen recently on the podium in the World Cup Mass Start & Outdoors; debut in the event, & egrave; fourth in the distance pi & ugrave; long day at 7 & rsquo; 06 & rsquo; & rsquo; 26 (best time in his career)
In the overall standings driving cos & Igrave; Luca Stefani. But despite two victories in the opening of the Championships, the policeman of Asiago has full control on the list. Stefani guide with 79.229 points, but behind him c & rsquo; & egrave; his brother Andrew, trailing by just 77 basis points from the first & ldquo; & rdquo ;. overall Wide open the fight for the third step of the podium. In little more & ugrave; half point l & rsquo; one from & rsquo; another, we find Cignini, a & rsquo; other knowledge of the World Cup 2014-15 and just as Nicola Tumolero Francolini. All three are for & ograve; pi & ugrave; away from the peak, more than two points.
Pi & ugrave; the fluid situation in the women's field. Help Francesca Lollobrigida, ready to give an encore of the title last year. The Roman dell & rsquo; Air Force has indeed excelled in both the 500 meters both in 3000, the latter she certainly pi & ugrave; congenial. Lollobrigida won first in 41 & rsquo; & rsquo; 39 his sprint and then repeated her success in 4 & rsquo; 36 & rsquo; & rsquo; 41 in the distance pi & ugrave; Long in the first day to the female.
