Alessandro Petacchi visited a family wine cellar in Italy for a toast to his return to competition soon. Petacchi signed with Team LPR and will start racing after his suspension expires at the end of August.
Petacchi said that "After signing for LPR, I was relaxed. Besides the intensification of my training to get back into competition at the end of August, I wanted to spend a few hours to go about my old hobby: That for wine. I came to see the Morettis and we had a toast that I think – and I hope – will be a good sign to start my new adventure in the best manner."
