It's difficult to leave Misano without stopping by the place of pilgrimage for thousands of fans from all over the world; Tavullia.
Since our visit last year, however, nothing seems to have changed. The sign entering the city…
The offices…
The markings on the rails…
The markings on the trees…
The mythical square and its San Lorenzo Martire church (Fun!)…
The ice cream shop and the Fan Club…
Restaurant…
The famous sign…
In town, therefore, everything is known and we decide to take a look near the Ranch, not very difficult to find, on the left when leaving the town. We can observe it from the road and, already, note that the owner of the place will go there today, since trucks are starting to water the track...
Taking its narrow access path, we come across, at the bend of a bend, the man we call Aldo (probably not his real first name). Do not be fooled by appearances; the guy is very nice and simply tells you that it is time to park your vehicle and continue on foot.
And in fact, Valentino Rossi, obviously tired of the fans who constantly crowd the path, has had a parking lot built and, fifty meters further, a fenced platform which allows spectators to see what is happening at the Ranch; pretty nice, right?
At this level, a second security guard obviously prevents any possibility of continuing and explains that, yes, VR46 will come, and that if everyone is confined to the enclosure, he will undoubtedly stop for a few minutes to sign autographs. Otherwise, no hope of an autograph...
It's 14 p.m., which is still too hot to hope to see the Doctor before at least two hours, so we let the most loyal of his supporters wait patiently, like this one who, speaking of the autograph, explained to us how immediately having VR46's signature tattooed on the signature he had made on his arm...
Note a large Franco-Belgian proportion among the most diligent! Congratulations to you !
