The third round of the Italian Cup series arrives at Campo Felice near L'Aquila the Italian city that was ravaged last year by a huge earthquake.
I arrived later on friday evening.
Saturday was the practice day. The race track is very difficult and dangerous.
I have chosen a good position to take photos.
In front of me there was the big jump and on the left i saw a wonderful curve.
I used eos 1d mkii camera and canon ef 300mm 2,8 is to take photos.

The winner: Wyn Masters (NZ) - Eos 1dmkii + EF 300mm f2,8 is; 1/5000 f2,8 iso 160

Looking the competition! - Eos 1dmkii + EF 300mm f2,8 is; 1/8000 f2,8 iso 250 monopod

I was very happy because there are a lot of famous riders such as: the Australian Shaun O’Connor e Rhys Willemse and Wyn Masters (NZ) e Matt Scoles (NZ).
Sunday was the competition day.
The italian (and local rider) Francesco Petrucci (Ancillotti Team) was the number 3 in the starting list but he has fallen during the race.
The best rider was Wyn Masters with an incredible time: 2'30"82!
