TThe scent of the forest, the hum of the chain, and Marco Aurelio Fontana’s line to follow. This isn't a dream—it’s the new XC & Marathon Training Camp. In partnership with Scott and Val di Sole Bikeland, we offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sharpen your skills where champions battle for the Rainbow Jersey.
