The word rally apparently means to gather again.
Comrades who set off one by one, each driving towards the finish, meet again at that same finish.
“Whatever the weather, whatever joy or frustration it carries, driving towards the same goal, the finish” — that is exactly like the drama of a life.
I have kept streaming live throughout. But since it was set to limited visibility, only a few people could actually watch it in real time, so I want to share it again here.
“Together with everyone …” — that is the feeling I have kept trying to pass on.
Above, having safely finished scrutineering, is the parade the day before the start, in Brescia, the last checkpoint.
I hope you can feel the streets and the presence of the engine noise alongside it.
Having safely got through scrutineering, at last the four days of the 2020 Mille Miglia, 1,000 miles, are about to start.
But before that — this being a world-class competition, I worked until the middle of the night reviewing and checking the route book handed out the day before.
Do watch the video too.
