Another edition of legendary Paris-Dakar is in full swing but we have our own dirt-bike heroes at Appenninica.
The medical team at Appenninica MTB Parmigiano Reggiano stage race will again have doctors from RMT – Racing Medical Team – to care and assist all of the riders no matter the terrain. Simone and Michele charmed everyone with their professional yet easygoing attitude, surfer look, and riding skills. Here’s what one rider had to say:
“What one must appreciate – especially in the Italian summer heat – is the fact that all the time around the riders circled two doctors on enduro bikes and constantly asked if the competitors were okay and if they needed water. Mind that this type of service is not often met at races.”
The full Medical Team will be:
- 2 ambulances with advanced equipment, strategically located and that will move tactically along the race course
- 2 medical ER in motion who will follow the race along the route
- 3 assistance motorbikes
- 1 doctor in the MEDICAL TENT at the camp of each Race Village
- 2 ALPINE RESCUE teams at the most risky points
