In the end the gods helped Basso a little bit because a rain came when Basso was already near the stage end. Basso wins both the rally and the C.I.R. title!

Puncture for Rossetti in the last stage. Campedelli seems to be missing but rallylink.it is totally overloaded and I can't make it load...

Cempedelli off the road.....what a disastrous end of season 4him...

What a drama on that last stage! Congrats to Basso, co-driver Granai and Metior Sport team.

Yeah! Congratulations to Basso! Another title for him! How many does he have already?!

Good rally for so many veteran drivers - Andreucci, Travaglia and Papadimitriou were in the 3rd, 4th and 5th positions, respectively. A great result after such a long break, especially for Travaglia and Papadimitriou! Huge respect for them!

Nails of Montalcino: please silence
in Editorials, Rubrics / by Gianni Cogni

The news of the statement presented by Simone Campedelli before and then by Luca Rossetti regarding Montalcino nails, with the delivery of the incriminated tires, inevitably generated discussions, even with misplaced interpretations. Basso and Granai won and they did it in the clearest and most deserved way (they made more points and won more races than everyone) and there are no complaints against the winner or against the verdict.

The Campedelli and Rossetti teams have chosen to point out the incident by delivering (it had already happened with less clamor to the Two Valleys) to the technical commissioners as it leads to the suspicion of sabotage (aka drilling caused by nails intentionally positioned by unknown persons).

Thus asking ACI Sport for any evaluation of the incident in the approval of the Tuscan Rewind result, an act that takes place for all rallies to endorse the regularity of the performance after the examination of the dossier. The precedent of San Martino di Castrozza 2012 is a rarity, perhaps even a unicum, but it exists.

No one has pointed a finger at anyone in particular, neither explicitly nor undercurrents. But the objective fact remains that this story of sabotage and in particular of nails (but there are also brake hoses cut in Guglielmini) is becoming a sort of haunting refrain that only damages everything and everyone, above all the same specialty.

This is the problem, not the fantastic victory of Basso in a season where he has had to beat not only his opponents but also the difficulties that have gradually developed and of which the change of the racing team was just one example.

Hmm, how many times has this repeated in the past ten years or so?

What the heck happened?
