It's not a secret that we as Sportscene are a big fan of the International Sella Descent. Last week Sportscene Contributor Gonzalo Melero wrote an interesting article about Sella's history and this week we post Tim Jacob's blog where he reports on racing the 2011 Sella Descent.

Edwin de Nijs, race organiser, looks back with great pride, with over hundred athletes from eleven different countries having started in the different classes.
