Those who come to San Pa do so because they want to feel a part of something, and they do, They become a friend”.

«Ths added value yesterday was highlighted by an incredible level of competition”, concluded Muccioli, “Gianni Govoni was the epitome of style and determination. I am sure that we will continue to see the same kind of excellence throughout the weekend and especially in Sunday’s Grand Prix”.
