Last year in May, Andrea Belometti said in an interview that it is very difficult to find a navigator who will have a lot of free time for 30 races a year. And the next 100 miles was no exception, this year Belometti went to the start with a new navigator – Gianluca Bergomi and didn`t lose. For the first time in his career, Andrea Belometti rose to the prize podium, losing to the Lancia Lambda Spider Casaro of 1929. On the second step of the podium, losing only to the three-time winner of the «Mille Miglia» Andrea Vesco.

«This Mille Miglia was very difficult with super technical and difficult time trials, because many of them took place on dirt and stone roads. Another obstacle this year was the heat, both for drivers and for car engines. I was competitive for all four days and I am very happy with the result. Now I’m starting to study again to improve my result by the next graduation, » Belometti said

Also, the winner of the «Mille Miglia -2021» told AutoClassicNews about the new navigator: «Navigator Gianluca Bergomi, a 26-year-old guy who participated in two Mille Miglia, and this issue helped me a lot, driving the car for many kilometers. He is a very good navigator, and I hope to perform with him again.»
