My automobile.


It was raining. I drove to Stuttgart, 130km away, and arrived at Herdweg
around 4:00 AM (in the morning!). I wanted to paint there on the street. I had
to give up the hope of painting since it was raining rather heavily. By noon it was
getting to drizzle.


The first rider is getting geared up. It was still raining and the road was wet.

Has he already got a new contract? He finished at 4th place last year.
Why did he get this starting order? He deserved a better place, did not he?

Marco Pinotti (Italy)
