Tor des Géants® 2016, a preliminary assessment Almost a week after ending, the positive echo left by the Tor des Géants® 2016 in the local and international trails worlds, is still going strong. The most exciting of all seven editions held. It certainly was for VdA Trailers, which relied on the indispensable support of municipalities and associations from the Aosta Valley, as well as a task force of professionals in every sector. First and foremost, the mountain guides who constantly guarded the critical points of the track, but also the doctors and physiotherapists, as well as the rescue workers and control personnel. Above all, VdA... |

The crowded closure party of the Tor des Géants® “There is just one Trail with a soul, there is just a Trail with a heart, and this is the Tor”. So began, without mince words, the Tourism Council Members of Courmayeur at the Courmayeur Forum Sport Center. In front of a big hall over crowded of trailers, supporters, fans not only from Aosta Valley but also from others regions. From Val Seriana, a Bergamo valley, the land of Oliviero Bosatelli, the unexpected winner of the male category, are arrived about fifty people, with flags and blow horns. Sometimes the cheers have submerged also the voice of the speaker at the microphone. |

It’s ended in a party atmosphere the 2016 Tor des Géants® Expired the 150 hours permitted by the regulation, are arrived at the deadline, together, the last two of the 446 trailers (on the 770 at the start) that have ended the seventh edition of the Tor des Géants®. |

A second runner disqualified There is who try all to partecipate to the Tor des Géants®. Sometimes, but fortunately rarely, they found solution also not legal. That, however, have been discovered and ratified. This is the case of a Lithuanian runner, for real, from Swiss. |

Almost 300 trailer still in race for the last day Only 24-hour before the conclusion of Tor des Géants ® 2016! At the moment, 155 competitors crossed the finish line and other 315 are still on the path that go from the last live base of Ollomont to the finish line of Courmayeur (where a Spanish trailer today asked to his girlfriend to marry him and where the request has been accepted). |

Maria Semerjian a step forward and it's podium On the third step of Tor's podium (women's ranking) we have a french lady: Maria Semerjian, that right on the finish line has been invited to a dance a waltz with choral accompaniment (after her the greek competitor decide to launch a overwhelming Sirtaki). |

The second place of Stephanie Case Normal people that do exceptional things. In that category we can put without any doubts the 34 years old Stephanie Case, from Canada, writer, layer and ultra runner able to conquer the second female place at the Tor des Géants® 2016 (and 14th at the general placement), she was welcome at the arrival the by the winner Oliviero Bosatelli and the choir of the Savoy “La route des tommes”, she signed the finisher poster, with some tears too |

 |
Liza Borzani, the star of Tor 2016 She is tired, it's inevitable. But above all what we noticed is her serenity, good humor ("But now it's up to me to wait," alluding to Paolo Pajaro, her partner in life and sports, still in race but not too far back) and of course satisfaction printed on her face. It's 5:10 am and Lisa Borzani just crossed the arrival line. She's the winner of the women's category of Tor 2016 in just over 91 hours, time that places her at seventh place overall. |

Alternative tracks to improve safety Agreed with the mayor of Oyace, an aternative route to reach Ollomont, 13km, have been planned - and will be activated just in case of weather worsening -, it follows wider and lower paths compared to the paths going up and down from the Col Brison. |

Who is Bosatelli? Oliviero Bosatelli and Nadia Bazzana. Perfect couple. Life couple and sport couple, in particular in the endurance trail, in effect she was his meticulous and dura assistant in all the life bases long the 330 km of the Tor des Géants® tracks. About her and with her is not easy to talk. Just some shiny tears, whereas him, at the arrival, enjoy the applauses and the friendship of his friends come from the Val Seriana, in Lombardy, and of all the people of Aosta Valley. “Nadia?”, a funny Oliviero say: “I’ve just be able to persuade her to take some photos for the marriage album”. Olviero “Bosa”... |

OLIVIERO BOSATELLI WIN THE TOR DES GÉANTS® 2016 Oliviero Bosatelli, Oli Bosa, for his fans, inflamed the Tor and put the opponents out. It was inevitable as he is fireman by trade. The athlete, the Giant indeed, living in Gandino 25Km from Bergamo, went into overdrive at Cogne after 106 kilometres of race and didn’t downshift anymore. “At full pelt” his colleagues say. They arrived from Bergamo nearly with sirens wailing. The forty-seven Lombard athlete, renamed “Popeye”, reached the finish line in Via Roma in the heart of Courmayeur, with an overall race time of 75,10 hours. Not half bad considering the distance of 330km to cover as well... |

The third day, the one that sets them straight Many call the third day of the Tor, the main day. The one in which the protagonists of podium are declared. Maybe a bit risky, for such a particular race, hard and long that didn't admits predictions. There is still a night to spend out on the trails at high altitude, and three mountains over 2700 meters to overcome. |

TOR DES GÉANTS® 2016, THE ATTACK OF OLIVIERO BOSATELLI Meanwhile Olivero Bosatelli, the caterpillar from Bergamo, continues his race, kilometers after kilometers. During an interview at half way looked like he just left home after the afternoon break: "I do not have strategies, I follow my feeling. And what I feel is a good feeling". |

TOR DES GÉANTS® TEST FIELD FOR EOLO GEOLOCATORS EOLO, Tor des Géants® main sponsor, will not only provide the necessary connectivity to all life bases and several check points along the route but have also distributed a hundred of experimental geo-location devices. The aim is to test efficiency, tracking , battery life, precision, and robustness. These geo-locators were assigned to teams of athletes, top trailer and other raffled athletes, reporters in the race and the "scope" (brooms). |

THE COMMISSIONERS DON’T MAKE CONCESSIONS TO ANYONE: EXPELLED TRAILER At the end of the first day of Tor des Géants® 2016 the commissioners of the course, loyal to their role and assignments, expelled the first and hopefully the last trailer. Reason: the runner didn’t take with him a relevant part of the compulsory material. |

MARATONABILI: “THE DIEHARD” WAIT AT THE START ARMED WITH SMILES AND DREAMS You shouldn’t give up on traditions, especially if they’re excellent. Like the one seen at the start of the Tor des Géants®: the Maratonabili and LND Famiglie italiane, with their smiles and their dreams. Two non-profit organisations that, despite having different missions and objectives, are united by the slogan “Let’s run the dreams” and are committed to give joy and hope to those less fortunate. Families and kids who for their own reasons share with the athletes of the Tor the same ingredients of the challenge: a difficult path, tenacity to keep going, new horizons to conquer… |

GREEN TOR: AN INCREASINGLY RESPECTFUL, SUSTAINABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY TOR DES GÉANTS® Respect for nature and the environment, to be at one with the land and the “leave no trace” philosophy has always been one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Tor des Géants®. The “green” choices that have been followed since the early years are further strengthened in 2016, once again highlighting the will and determination of VDA Trailers in organising an increasingly sustainability-oriented event. |
