Giacomo Agostini swells his chest

Giacomo Agostini swells his chest. “I am very proud to have received the Camunian Rose. An important award that I will put among my 280 awards,” he tells Corriere della Sera.

“Motorcycling has changed a lot compared to when I was racing,” the former champion then adds. Partly for the better because thanks to the use of technology the safety conditions for riders have improved. In my time when a rider fell, he risked death. In fact, when I was a boy my father refused to allow me to race because he said he did not want to sign my death warrant. Today, fortunately, the risks pilots are exposed to are much less, although electronics and technology have taken something away from talent.”
