Davide's Way Against the Clock - Episode 3: Ortles

Marco de Gasperi has been a huge inspiration for Davide Magnini. Both of them are great Italian runners from different generations, but now Marco challenges Davide with a big achievement: to break his record of Ortles peak from 2015. As seen in episode 1 of this web series, Davide couldn’t break the Stelvio pass record, but going back home and running in Presanella (EP2) gave him the confidence that he needs. Now he has a big performance to overcome, certainly more technical than Presanella, and with the focus from his idol on him. Will he make a statement and beat the record set by Marco de Gasperi?
Davide Magnini has 3 goals to achieve in the 2020 summer season. In a year of a pandemic without any trail running races, the young gun decides to continue on with his training with the intention of beating the fastest known times in the three iconic Italian courses (Ortles, Stelvio Pass, and Presanella) that have always been a spark of inspiration to him during his childhood.

Thats so crazy. The Normal route he took takes normal mountaineers 2 days. first ascent to payer hut, then summit day and back to the valley. He just did the same in like 2 hours, what the fuck. Congrats! Thats a huge athletic achievement!

[@alessio2196]

Crazy time, just consider that the normal route usually takes 16 hours.

[@LiveHardxLoveHard]

Yeeeesssss! One of the best things to come out of Covid is that great runners are focusing on beautiful individual challenges rather than the big public races. Jornet was already doing this, obviously, but it's so great to see Davide doing it now. I really hope you keep this series up even when the pandemic is over.

Love how he is running past everyone climbing like there are standing still

Bravo Davide , un'esempio che anche i giovani hanno FORZA DETERMINAZIONE E CORAGGIO . Giù il cappello , viva l'esercito italiano .

[@crisonthealps4542]

Grandissimo! Che potenza! Bravo

[@tomhausmann8993]

I did the tour many years ago and it took me two days, in the valley I was so exhausted that I slept in the parking lot for two hours before I could go home :)

One of the greatest videos on KZbin. Should have one million+ views. Kudos, Davide and Salomon!!!!

[@3LRaetica]

My record was on 2017 from Gomagoi (1100m) to Payer Hütte (3050m) with 3h 16min :-). I can't believe what Davide did. Great!

[@rudifacchini2191]

Really impressive what Davide (but also Marco a few years ago) achieved here - i have done the normal route myself and it`s difficult to even imagine such a time could be possible. Looking forward to follow his next achievements, very inspiring for all of us average people!

[@gabornyers7091]

Breathtaking!

Fantastic and inspirational. The scramble section looked gnarly. Among other sports I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a professional cyclist too. He would kill it on the climbs easily.

[@retobaumann5604]

Absolutely amazing, congrats! Is seems next to impossible to see Davide passing all the mountaineers with so much ease. Inspiring, well done.

[@PrimaDina]

Unglaublich was der Mensch für Kräfte aufbringen kann, meinen größten Respekt!

[@marion1122]

Wooooowwww! Ingredible. He is such an inspiration and yes, he is the future. No doubt to hear and read a lot of Davide from now on! 👍👍👍

[@ortlerskytrails6782]

Congratulations Davide! We were there on the 10th of July for Ortler Sky Trails and we will also be this summer. The Ortler still has many challenges for you and we hope to see you there again soon!

[@srenehan80]

Amazing series to watch, absolutely in awe of Davide's talent and ability. He deserves everything he works so hard to achieve. Thanks to Salomon TV on stunning camera work 👏

[@topoderbadimare9791]

Really beautiful images!

[@EivindAanensen]

This one gives such a good feeling. Great achievement!
