Posted on November 27, 2019

The tenth edition of the Rally Tuscan Rewind, the last round of the Italian Rally Championship, which was held on the legendary dirt roads around the famous village of Montalcino, in the province of Siena, had Tony Cairoli among its protagonists. The prestigious appointment, the last stage of the CIR, saw the best specialists of the discipline compete against each other over the weekend to win the tricolor titles of the different specialties.

Cairoli, present at the start of the rally at the wheel of a Skoda Fabia R5 of the racing team PA Racing, flanked by the co-pilot Anna Tomasi, gave yet another demonstration of pure talent on four wheels, facing the debut on the dirt road without awe, but with a careful and as prudent as possible race conduct, which allowed him to bring his car to the finish line, despite the treacherous race conditions, made difficult by the abundant rainfall of the days preceding the event.

The performance of the "wild card" was excellent and even if not new to the rally experience, the nine-time World Motocross Champion, carried out in great style his debut on the white roads with an exciting tenth place overall, two just seconds from the ninth. Constantly among the best in every single test, Tony ran into a road exit during the fourth race and a smear during the sixth, errors that caused him to lose precious seconds in the overall standings, when he was close to the top five.

Tony Cairoli: "It was a very positive race even if I made some mistakes due to the lack of practice before the rally, but it was a fantastic experience. Finally I faced a real rally, with real drivers, on fantastic roads, my debut on the dirt could not be better. I thank everyone, my sponsors, the organizers and my crew that made this wonderful adventure possible. "
