In New Zealand, Piagentini won the Xterra Trail Series circuit – El Eco

In New Zealand, Mariano Piagentini from Dantil won the Xterra Trail Series title that started in May and ended a few days ago.

The circuit consisted of six races, of which Piagentini took part in five, missing the remainder due to a knee injury.

From Oceania, Piagentini, who finished third in the last stage, grew up near Auckland Resonance in stem “There are 20 to 25 kilometers per stage in different places (beach, forest, mountains, etc.). At one point, until kilometer 15, I was in the group with the first three and felt really bad and in pain, but when we entered the technical area my body said ‘You’ve made it this far. done’. To finish the race walking or jogging. To make matters worse, I took a covid test the same night because apart from the pain I felt weak and it came back positive. I was on top of the series even though I lost a lot of time on that date. I stopped for three weeks and passed the fourth. After doing that I came fifth and sixth, where I managed to keep a gap with the second rider and luckily I won the series. I’m very happy with the experience and the results, because what we planned at the beginning of the year with ‘Mathi’ (Urdutia, Gumelen Running) happened a little bit.
