Sandro Pastorelli - Bergantino

The Crossodromo Sandro Pastorelli sits at Via Tartaro 1080 in Bergantino in the province of Rovigo and is run by Moto Club Le Giare. The mxcenter.it track directory lists 1,316 metres of length, dirt ground, category 3 and an additional minicross area; licences from FMI, UISP and CSEN are accepted. Riding runs Tuesday to Friday in the afternoon and at weekends from 9 am until sunset. Unlike most venues in the region this one has lighting: on Wednesday and Friday there are additional evening sessions from 6 pm to 10 pm under floodlights. On site there is a bar and a cold shower; the directory advises calling ahead here too, because times can change. On our record the layout is technical with jumps. If you make use of the long opening hours and add an evening session on top, you will feel it in your forearms first: arm pump after a few laps is the most common problem on technical ground. Top of our cause list for it is not a suspension error but gripping the bars too hard - ride with loose arms and a centred attack position, light hands and heavy feet.
