If the promises of the vigil seemed to announce a three-star challenge between Baldini, Gharib and Mosop, it took a few thousand meters to see how the comparison would not only history, but not reasons exist. Too strong, too determined, too bright the twenty-three Kenyan Moses Mosop escape to leave the competition. Even in the first two rounds, yet compact with the group, the impression was that the runner cross the 2007 World almost the same game. Impression became a certainty couple of minutes later, when the winner of the last edition was brought to the head of the group gradually removing all the opponents of wheels. The last to let go it was the Moroccan Jouad Gharib he has tried in all ways to keep the wild Mosop but no luck, on the contrary: even before the halfway stage of the Kenyan had taken off, ending the solitary ride with a roaring in the last thousand 2'38 to sign the new lap record at SAS, the classic version: 28'29 and best regards to all, including tendon trouble. Evidently the long stop of this 2008 returned an athlete determined as never before, eager to repeat the success of last year to ward off accidents of this last period (" I came here to win, I wanted at all costs to give a signal that I have solved my problems, before thinking about the cross-country race and, next spring, in good times the 10,000. I do not make predictions, I do not like: I'm just saying I want to show off. It's not every day to win twice in a row at Trent ? - the last Panetta was in '87 and '88 - Well, it means that I'll try to do hat-trick. ). Determining a clear, obvious, as well as the beauty and lightness of his action, best song for a race vibrant, albeit dominated. A tour to 62imo Sas far from trivial (" Mosop I ruined a bit 'plans ... I was hoping for a race longer fought but he was too strong " says the guidance of the organizing committee Gianni Demadonna ) , who has lived in the same feats of Kenyan yes, but also the determination of Jouad Gharib, attention to Toniok , in turn, Kenyan and placed third, just a progression of the exciting Andrea Lalli, fermatasi foot the podium, the final duel between experts Gabriele De Nard and Stefano Baldini, finished in that order behind the red talent Abruzzo. Then again SiGe, Aliwa, ChatBar, Stefano La Rosa, Fabio Mascheroni and Cosimo Caliandro .
Well, if Mosop was the great protagonist , Lalli was the most pleasant surprise . Not because it has already demonstrated its capabilities, but because at the end of 2008 it was difficult to imagine its performace so brilliant and convincing. Well, indeed, great: if the progress toward the cross season starts from these assumptions, we can only wait for the first commitments ( financier pupil of Lucian of Italian Pardo diserterà tests to prepare for the Europeans in Brussels with a couple of meetings between Germany and Spain ) to attend the final consecration of what, in the plans of the experts, is the best candidate for the succession Stefano Baldini. Yes, because even the king of Olympia was forced to abdicate; time passes for all and the champion Emilia is too honest with himself to hide it. At the end of his tour at the SAS Baldini has been given a sufficiently large, aware of a few cartridges have been fired in the presence of younger athletes or more intact, but also to have reached that stage of career where you can afford to think almost exclusively to have fun, without the stress of hunting spasmodic the result. And the promise of return from 12 months to say goodbye final, that is almost as much as a victory.
Lalli and Baldini, future and past . This is still a land of conquest, as the middle-distance blue is slowly building a future and during the transition there is still room for a lively Gabriele De Nard, always, always positive, one month from the first cross. More difficult than a week ago appeared Stefano La Rosa, but he is a different matter, given the known lower and cross compatibility with the most feeling with the track: the Grosseto km are all useful for the future. ..
the end it was a great, great party. The Old Town full of people gave that extra touch of charm to one of the most classic derby in the national calendar. Demadonna Gianni and his team have re-center, seizing the moment to ask the DJ Linus, able to bring enthusiasm to the participation open race that has in fact opened the way to the big challenge, but also setting up a great show contour with all the misses to the right places, and large screen displays along the route. short, a real jewel of the event, to be held close, almost cuddly because basically these are good times for everyone. Be also short-sighted traders ...
