In the mud and cold of northern Italy renowned front runner Aniko Kalovics was simply too strong for British youngster Steph Twell at yesterday’s classic XC race, Cinque Mulini, held at the legendary San Vittore Olona course.
With UK athletes filling 6 of the top 10 placings in the women’s race and 3 in the top 5 of the men’s, UKA top man Ian Stewart must be pleased with this winter’s encouraging exploits on the country.
It was, however, comeback man Saif Saaeed Shaheen from Qatar who stole the headlines after convincingly winning the men’s race and beating 8 times Euro champ Sergiy Lebid.
