Racing bike downhill, quite extreme: the asphalt blurs into a uniform light grey, white stripes keep appearing to the left of the centre, the dark green blurs at the edges like a heavily pixelated animation. The curves don't come flying with the blunt regularity of a techno beat, they jerk up abruptly. They widen at first and then contract mercilessly at the end. Every brake lever is a joystick. A hard and precisely measured pull on both brings the bike to a halt. The windbreaker sticks to your body, soaked with sweat. What flies past the corner of your eye to the right and left becomes a panorama. When you get close to the crash barrier, the church towers of Trento appear in the valley. Behind them, the Adige Valley and Bolzano disappear into the haze, from which the barely developed chain of the Lagorai mountains rises up in a green-grey colour where the clouds gather.
