He is there. Elvis Borsoi, reigning Italian cross country rally champion, is ready to rekindle the championship challenge at the Italian Baja di Primavera (photo Acisport 2017) which will be staged next weekend, from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 March. "I can't wait to start over" declares without delay the driver from Treviso, who last January was the protagonist, but on the right seat, at the Africa Eco Race on the trail of the ancient Dakar, reversing roles with his historic navigator , Stefano Rossi from Arezzo at the wheel of a Nissan Patrol. “A great adventure, completely different from our races. Tiring, exhausting. An additional stimulus for the new competitive season in which we hope not only to complete all the tests of the Italian series, but also to be able to experience some stages of the World Cup, in addition to the Italian Baja in June ".
The reference is to the project of an Aci Team Italia that should support Borsoi (T1 champion, prototypes) and Nicolò Algarotti (T3 champion, light vehicles) in three world championship rounds. In the meantime, however, the focus is on the Primavera, where a triumphant ride for the overall title began last year. Sporting and technical checks will take place on Friday 23 at the Tavella Professional at the Pordenone Interport.
The first stage is on Saturday 24th, the second on Sunday 25th, for a total of five selective sectors of 25 km on the river bed of the Cosa stream and the Tagliamento river, starting and finishing at the Cantina di Rauscedo. “Physically I am fine - underlines Borsoi - and mentally already concentrated. It will be important to start on the right foot, the first race exalts you or depresses you. It is still not clear who the most formidable opponents will be, but there is a lot of movement around and ambitions are not lacking. " "His" Collodel 4 × 4 team will have five vehicles to manage: two Toyota Toyodell T1s entrusted to Borsoi-Rossi and Francesco Ceschin-Simone Feraboli, Margherita Lops-Alberto Marcon's Suzuki Grand Vitara T2, a Suzuki Vitara TH for Milvio Gridi-Umberto Paravicini and a Mitsubishi Pajero TH for Rinaldo De Nardi-Sandra Castellani.
