On 22 and 23 August, the national Downhill circuit returns to Sestriere, in the Olympic mountains of the Vialattea. The event, organised by Downhill Italia, will see the discipline’s top riders compete along the Downtower track. After reaching the summit, competitors will be transferred to an altitude of 2,370 metres, from where they will descend at breakneck speed for 1.6 km to Colle del Sestriere at 2,000 metres. The finish line will be set up on the lawn next to the Palazzetto dello Sport. On Saturday 22 August, from 6.00 pm, the paddock will host a spectacle of adrenaline, talent and rhythm, featuring music and acrobatic displays on bikes and trial motorbikes.
