Looking at the results we have achieved, I can only thank the whole team and all the technical staff for the enormous satisfactions and joys they have given us on this Sunday of great sport in Tuscany. Among other things, the chase finals were really exciting, because the tandem won very little after a long battle. The participation was numerous and of quality ».
