The third test of the day, the Enduro Test in Selvapiana, was decisive, in which Garcia, winner of all the other tests in front of Verona, had some difficulties, leaving almost 25 seconds on the course for the Italian, which did not the opportunity slipped away, winning the test with about a second ahead of team mate Davide Guarneri. The overall ranking remains unchanged, with Italy extending over Spain, the USA, Sweden and France. In the Junior, the blue domination continues almost unchallenged (yesterday Lorenzo Macoritto and Matteo Pavoni were the best in the category, with Manolo Morettini eighth): Italy always in the lead, while the USA collapse which, overtaken by France and Sweden, slide at the foot of the podium. A completely different music in the Women’s World Cup, where the Americans led by Brandy Richards are very strong and keep the English and Spanish at bay. Italy slips to last place.
