Yesterday morning at the start from Le Lido di Capri Ondine the sea and the weather were perfect for the crossing.
And for about 5 hours everything was for the best. Swim fluid, which gave the impression of a fast arriving around 8 hours and 30 ‘.
Then, the time she wanted to make the company even more difficult. A strong wind from the north-east wind with strong counter-currents, to which is added the rain has slowed the two athletes for about two hours remained practically at a standstill.
The key feature was the great feeling. Both of them, when they were in the boat, cheered and supported those who were in the sea to swim.
But the strong determination made them go ahead and finish the test at the Circolo Posillipo in 10 hours and 39 ‘.
From this morning begins the test bike in less than 12 days will see them travel about 2,100 km, from Naples to London.
