26 Mag Perfect weekend for the Da-Tor/ISB Team
Total success for the Da-Tor/ISB Team: victory and podiums
Last weekend, the Da-Tor/ISB Team from Lecco delivered a standout performance in two of the most prominent events on the national gran fondo calendar, claiming victories, podium finishes, and once again proving their excellent form.
Andrea Mariani dominates the Bra Bra Fenix
In the Piedmont region, the 32nd edition of the Bra Bra Fenix took place — a challenging 112 km medium fondo with over 2,000 meters of elevation gain, starting from the historic village of Pollenzo. Andrea Mariani was the star of the day, powering to a commanding victory and crossing the finish line in first place overall. A significant win for both the rider and the team, reinforcing their high competitive level.
Also worth noting were Filippo Longobardi, who placed 37th overall and 13th among Juniors, and Paolo Montini, who stepped onto the second step of the podium in the Gentlemen 1 category. Dario Fusato (282nd overall and 19th in Gentlemen 2) and Franco Divitini (855th and 76th in SuperG A) completed the team’s presence.
Sarah Palfrader and Matteo Moltoni shine at Marcialonga Cycling Craft
Meanwhile, in the heart of the Dolomites, the iconic Marcialonga Cycling Craft took place, featuring its two classic routes: the medium fondo (80 km) and the gran fondo (135 km), spanning four demanding mountain passes through the Val di Fiemme and Val di Fassa.
In the shorter route, Matteo Moltoni had a brilliant ride, finishing 8th overall and 2nd in the elite master category (ages 19–29). Daniele Rainoldi was 46th overall and 15th in his age group. The course was also completed by Danilo Bottoni (127th), Luca Tatangelo (299th), and Elisa Colombo, who finished 12th in her age category.
On the long route, the highlight came from Sarah Palfrader, who delivered an outstanding race to take 2nd place overall in the women’s category — a performance to remember. In the men’s field, Riccardo Zacchi finished 31st overall (21st in the 30–39 age group), and Davide Evanto crossed the line in 248th place.
Strong results also in MTB
In mountain biking, Edoardo Dinale claimed victory in the Debutant category at a cross-country race held in Cortenova (LC), part of the Master Cicli Pozzi circuit. His father, Davide Dinale, also made the podium with a 2nd place in the Veteran 2 category.
A team in top form and full of ambition
With these results, the Da-Tor/ISB Team continues to show its versatility and determination across disciplines. A weekend to remember that reflects solid work, strong form, and the passion that drives this team in every race.
On to the next goals!
