Friulian victory deserved in the sixth edition in front of De Cecco – Campei and Lovisetto – Gasparotto
Bravi and Bertoldi triumph in Agordo. THEThe 6th Dolomiti Rally, race valid for the 4th zone Rally Cup, held yesterday with start and finish in Agordo, with the special stages between Brugnach, Gosaldo and Vallada, goes to the Friulian couple formed by the driver Filippo Bravi and the navigator Enrico Bertoldi, which prevailed over De Cecco-Campei and Lovisetto-Gasparotto. A success that came at the end of two intense days, favored by good weather conditions, with the competitors put to the test, especially in the night test.
The rally registered 98 crews at the start and was confirmed as a level race. An absolute novelty was the night at 9pm on Saturday in Piazza della Libertà. The PS1 “Brugnach” gave the first 3.6 kilometers of emotions and twists. The first leaders of the race were Lovisetto and Gasparotto. Following Bravi-Bertoldi and Peruch-Budoia.
In the other tests Lovisetto and Gasparotto lost their advantage, leaving room for the rushing Bravi and Bertoldi and De Cecco-Capeis. In particular, the former were unstoppable in the Sunday special stages. As for the Belluno people, the best was the navigator of Cadore origin Silvia Mosena, seventh overall to the right of Fabio Sandel, crowning a comeback race. The race of the veteran “Brik”, paired with Paola Valmasoi, was clearly compromised in the first test, in which he paid for the difficulties in getting the headlights of the Skoda Fabia R5 to work properly. However, in yesterday’s practice he built up his recovery by obtaining a good eleventh place.
It was a decidedly bewitched rally, however, for the most anticipated Agordini crews Busin-Fenti and Lena-Decima, forced to retire. The latter have permanently occupied a place among the top ten in the first six special stages, but left the stage in the final passage to “Vallada”.
