Alessio, Dario

Our international Team "Tedesci" started with the two gentle guides Alessio e Dario from the club. They wrote down at each zone our scores and we could watch each other, discuss the best track, help or laugh and applaude good passages, very "amicale".

?, Fulvio, Giovanni the organiser	Walter, Alfred and Danilo Galeazzi, Star of the 1990ies, winner Expert class

Danilo Galeazzi was riding a nice works SWM, lookes like a late Jumbo frame with a 280 engine

Saturday was perfect weather, warm, humid and we had a great Trial. The zones were easy, mostly possible with zero points. Well, at least Danilo Galeazzi handed in a card with zero points in the evening. I lost 6 points, which already pushed me back on the 4th in the expert, but hey, the Honda was running perfectly.

 As we only stared around 14h, we finished the round about at 17h. So what to do till evening?

After servicing man and machine, diner party startet in the club house. Grande fiesta with vino, primi, secondi, etc.

There is no official ranking, but we all count our dabs on the day and exchange them in the evening. Our team had some good riders! Walter Frei on BSA could have won the Clubman , Alfred Wagner 2nd in the Pre 65 Clubmen, I was 4th in the Experts (not bad, with a zero in the last muddy zona 10), Ulrico Meier won the Twinshock Clubmen, Ralf beat Michele, who was fighting with the TY 250. Luckily, he had a spare and working TY in the bus, after the first one was stuck in the 3rd gear..Jacek drove his Zündapp on 4th in the Pre 65 Experts.

We spent a very nice diner, with pasta, carne, vino, grappa and a cigar once late in the night, the rest is not publicly known...

some rumors exist, that at 2'o clock in the morning, a friendly inhabitant of the village opened a bottle of 5 litre red wine from his own wine yard... but that is a rumor...

Alfred's view on me smoking a finisher cigar	my view was in the dust of Barolo and Grappa...
