Riva del Garda, 14 July 2019 - Siderval, the Corinthian team of Marco Giannini, Elonora Colussi, Marco and Enzio Savoini, won the stage dominating it from the first to the last day . A historic achievement because no Corinthian team in the fleet's long history had ever won the first place of a Melges 20 event. Siderval can rejoice not only for the highest step obtained in the event of Riva del Garda, but also for an extraordinary final silver at the shoulders of Russian Bogatyrs in the final classification of the European circuit.

The stage ranking sees on the podium, in second place, Russian Bogatyrs which thus concludes an amazing series made of two successes and two second places in the events of Villasimius (first), Puntaldia (second), Marina di Scalrino (first), while Brontolo Racing gets the third step with a great comeback after a weak start in day one.

Marco Giannini - "We can hardly believe what we did here in Riva del Garda, which is the result of a work that has been going on for two seasons, with great passion for this sport and this class. We started the season in a very positive way and this immediately gave us a great boost and we are aware of being able to compete with extraordinarily strong teams composed of many sailing champions, from which we have always tried to learn. Today we are the Corinthians with the highest rank in an event and the second step in the Melges World League European Division fills us with pride and happiness ".
