Translate 'Rubino' from Italian and<br />

it comes out as 'bright red<br />

gemstone. The Italian tyre gurus<br />

at Vittoria obviously hold their<br />

new graphene road tyre in high<br />

regard - and, it does indeed<br />

perform extremely well, like a<br />

little gem!<br />

The roads around this part of the<br />

Yorkshire Dales can be tight and<br />

twisty, with patches of loose<br />

gravel on the edges and corners.<br />

The descents are steep and fast,<br />

requiring full concentration, so<br />

knowing that you've got the tyre<br />

on your side helps. This is<br />

especially so during the time of<br />

year when the farmers add to the<br />

complexities by cutting back the<br />

hedgerows, leaving thorns and<br />

other tyre piercing debris along<br />

the lanes. Ideal conditions for<br />

testing tyres I'd say!
