Undoubtedly the times when Italian drivers were totally dominating events on their home soil are gone (for example look at the final results of Mille Miglia 2005: https://www.ewrc-results.com/final/6...0-miglia-2005/), but obviously you haven't looked close the results of Simone Cempedelli:
1st stage: already on fourth corner rear drive-shaft failure....lost more than ten seconds.
2nd stage: on the first proper stage he immiedately set the best stage time
3rd stage: lost 5 sec compare to Luky
4th stage: set equal stage time as Luky
5th stage: flat tyre
6st stage, flat tyre again, had to retire

On sunday Cempedelli was the fastest over all. So, I do not want to minimalize the pefect victory of Luky (after all I have put him on first place in my pickem!), but Cempedelli is showing already for the last two seasons great speed (he is eaisily the fastest compare to Ucci, Scandola, Crungola, Nucita...), however his finish arrivals are very rare.....for some retirements the reason is technique failure, but he is also very ''crash prone''.
