“ This is a meeting place, a place of competition - continues Albi - When the riders go out here, they have the bit between their teeth, it's not a game. A guest list that has included the likes of Marquez, Dovizioso, Iannone, Hayden and so on.Ī great 'game' that requires 200,000 euro per year simply to maintain. Not exactly a play area, but like a dream gym. Then there's the canopy that serves as a garage, a big restructured house and a guest house where there will soon be rooms for visitors. A packed dirt surface (the 'recipe' for which is a secret, but Schwantz was involved) more than 2 kilometres in length, a couple of ovals, a fairly easy MX track and even a track for radio-controlled cars. THE PRICE OF SUCCESS - “ The old Cava had its day - explains Albi Tebaldi, the Doctor's right-hand - We needed something more professional for training and this is how the Ranch came about”. Inaugurated in 2011, when the Ranch opened its gates for the first time. It may seem light-hearted but it is actually a very serious game. Morbidelli and Pasini raise two prosciutti to the skies in victory, the Rossi and Marini brothers lift a 'coppa', in the sense of air-cured pork rather than an actual cup. Just like i n America, but we are in Tavullia. Before the start, Valentino's sister Clara sings the national anthem and two planes leave white smoke as they cross the sky. There are chequered flags, lights that look like wagon wheels, lit fires surrounded not by cowboys but riders, fuel drums and vin brulé.
