Oliviero Bosatelli

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 as the difference in altitude of 24thousand meters. Thus, more than a caterpillar he was a Formula 1 car.

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".
