Vittorio Brumotti is an Italian rider who was World Biketrial Champion in Expert in 2006. We mentioned him at the start of the year when he was interviewed in France’s No.1 MTB magazine (Vittorio Brumotti in Vélo Vert). Vittorio has a very US style; he runs a suspension fork and has been inspired by the likes of Ryan Leech, Jeff Lenosky and Hans Rey. He no longer rides competitions, concentrating instead on demos and street riding.
Vittorio has become a bit of a star in Italy… He is now doing a bit of TV and politics alongside his trials! He has a slot on the most popular TV show in Italy, Canale 5’s “Striscia la Notizia”, in which he denounces, half tongue in cheek, half seriously, the wasting of public funds. The show is followed by 7-8 million people daily, with a 25% audience. Incredible!
