\u201cThis year\u2019s edition,\u201d confirms Stefano Chiminelli, President of the Circolo Veneto Automoto d\u2019Epoca \u201cG. Marzotto\u201d, \u201chas shown that those taking part in this competition are true \u2018Legends\u2019. They faced a hard stretch through the biggest Dolomite passes that reached its apex in the very difficult climb up the Gavia Pass, which became more arduous as a result of the difficult weather conditions. The great spirit of friendship that exists between these drivers and their constant perseverance obviously made the difference; they covered the demanding route enthusiastically and left everyone with unique memories. My thanks go naturally to all of my team which, through its commitment, made all this possible, and also to the Road Police, the Police Motoclub, the Green Cross, Bassano Rally Racing, our partners, ASI, ACI Vicenza, the Veneto Region and the Municipality of Bassano del Grappa which kindly gave us its patronage, and the public and private institutions that supported us. My special thanks go to the many journalists present, who lived the experience of this unique event. This incredible 25th edition, in memory of brothers Danilo and Renato Calmonte, will certainly remain in history and in our hearts, just like all the others.”<\/span><\/p>\n
