We finally left!! The Tour of the Alps has officially started!!

The group that left few hours ago from Munich is travelling in the direction of Garmisch-Partnerkirchen to arrive then on the Stelvio Pass, driving through amazing landscapes and bends, testing for the first time the Snowcontrol Serie II.

The group that left from Milan already tested the Snowcontrol Serie II on Vizzola’s track, where the Pirelli technical team helped the participants to know better this new tyre and its potencial on wet and dry surfaces in winter conditions!

After this experience also this group is travelling through beautiful mountain passes like the Maloja Pass, the Bernina Pass and the Forcola Pass, and after passing through Livigno, it will then arrive on the Stelvio Pass this afternoon!

But there is something more… the competition started too! During the trip, as we already said, the different crew will have a portable dvd player to answer a video questionnaire about Pirelli, its history and winter tyres to gain points for the final score!

Who will be the winner?? We will find it out tomorrow, when there will be other points to add to the final score: those coming from the football match bets and those from the sled dog race!

See you later!! :)
