Once again, spring was nowhere to be seen during the two days of racing at the Tamaro Trophy 2026! Biting cold and occasional rain made the course even more demanding, putting both body and mind to the test.
A true challenge, where only the toughest endured: once again, MTB proves to be a sport for real fighters.
Saturday was dedicated to the youth races, from the very youngest U9 riders all the way through to the FUN Men, Women and Senior categories.
On Sunday, the Elite Women’s and Men’s races delivered a spectacular show, with a starting list worthy of a World Cup round. Plenty of excitement and determination were also on display in the U23 and U19 categories.
