Canosa di Puglia

Little is documented about Canosa di Puglia and we are not going to pretend otherwise: 1200 metres of earth, category 4, FMI homologated, sitting near Canosa in northern Puglia. Opening hours, entry fee and an operator contact turned up in no reliable source - call ahead rather than trusting some time listed online. What the ground tells you over the course of a day is more dependable than any opening time anyway. Earth is damp and grippy in the morning, and the further the day goes the deeper the ruts get and the harder the edges beside them. Ride the line that suits you early, and change it deliberately once it is worn out - not after it has thrown you off. And it is exactly in those ruts that the problem catching nearly everyone here appears: the front knifes and oversteers. Top of our cause list is the fork - it rides too low and folds into the rut; wind on the compression before you touch anything else.
