The second leg <\/strong>of the 1000 Miglia 2025 <\/strong>left in the early morning today from Bologna<\/strong>. The weather continued to assist the crews, who reached the two historic 1000 Miglia passes, the Futa <\/strong>and the Raticosa<\/strong>, in view of sun-kissed Apennine panoramas. Along the stretch connecting the two passes, the first Average Trial of this edition was also held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe roar of the engines at the start and the smell of paraffin for me are synonymous only with the 1000 Miglia <\/em>\u2013 Joe Bastianich<\/strong>\u2019s statement while waiting for the Time Control at the start of the leg in Bologna \u2013 today we will be in Siena, in the Chianti region, and in Rome, the Caput Mundi city. It will be an adventure, we are doing very well, and we are happy that the weather is assisting us\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classification updated after Time Trial 32 sees Erejomovich-Llanos<\/strong>\u00a0in the lead in a 1929<\/strong>\u00a0Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Ss<\/strong>, who, with today\u2019s first sports trials, have overtaken the defending champions Andrea Vesco and Fabio Salvinelli,<\/strong>\u00a0who had ended yesterday\u2019s leg in first position.\u00a0 Still in third position is the Belometti-Ricca <\/strong>crew in a 1929 Lancia Lambda Spider Tipo 221. Hotz-Mozzi\u00a0<\/strong>remain in the lead of the\u00a0Ferrari Tribute<\/strong>\u00a0 with an\u00a0F8 Spider<\/strong>, and so do\u00a0Magni-Giavardi\u00a0<\/strong>in a \u00a0Polestar 4<\/strong>\u00a0for the\u00a01000 Miglia Green<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 9.15 am, the convoy reached Prato<\/strong>: after the Time Control on the banks of the Bisenzio River, the cars made their way through the heart of the Tuscan town, passing through Piazza Duomo, Piazza San Francesco and Piazza Santa Maria delle Carceri, greeting the Prato public with a Passage Control in front of the Emperor\u2019s Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was then the turn of the Time Trials in the Linari <\/strong>area, after which it was the Val d’Elsa <\/strong>that accompanied the convoy to the arrival in Piazza del Campo <\/strong>in Siena<\/strong>, for the iconic glimpse of the liveries parked on the tricolour synthetic in the famous square of the Palio delle Contrade.<\/p>\n\n\n
