Tour of the Alps

„His name was Matteo Scalco. He is 19 and was born in Italy. He told us that he began with the racing, when he was 7 years old. We asked him what he likes about racing and he told us that he really likes it because he feels free when he does it. And also he has actually very good expectations for the race and he wouldn’t be sad or something if he wouldn’t get first place. He is just happy that he can race this year.”
