Day 5 at the ISDE in Bergamo didn’t hold back! Overnight rain turned the tests into slippery chaos, forcing organizers to cut the schedule short. Still, even with fewer tests, the results board got a big shake-up.
Italy kept their home advantage alive thanks to Andrea Verona, while Sweden stayed consistent to move ahead of France, who struggled again in the mud. Team USA also bounced back, climbing into 4th after a strong ride from Jonathan Girrois.
