“I dream of traveling the world” – Corriere.it

In the sun, sitting on a green lawn, some small white daisy in her hands. Young Sara Lenzi also smiles with her eyes. The photo on his Facebook profile speaks of his age. Slightly low, sweet and even lazy look. Sneakers, a T-shirt with some words written in pink. Italian motorcyclist promise, died in a car accident on Sunday. He had turned 18 in August.

Who was

A Tuscan doctor, he lived in Riotorto, a small fraction of Piombino, where he studied at the Pacinotti mechanical technical institute last year. The oldest of four children (a brother and two sisters), he raced from the age of 14 for the Beta Dirt Racing Team in Greve, Chianti. Followed on his way step by step by the parents, the father Rudy and the mother Serena, well known in the area as owners of the Acquafresca bakery. They were also there on Sunday, not far from Olbia, when Sara lost control of her bicycle on a downhill road, hitting her head against an off-road vehicle coming from the opposite direction. He was in Sardinia pursuing his dream. “I hope to have fun,” he laughed in a short video interview on November 2, commenting on the imminent bid for Rally Sundalion, the final race of the Italian Motorally season. In love with motorcycles, a passion inherited from her father, she always drove her Beta. “I have no words for what happened – says former Ducati Danilo Petrucci, also at Sundalion -. The last time I had decided to do a career like this for fun, Doriano Romboni died in Latina, now the news of the disappearance of this girl, who was very young. The desire to do everything just disappears.

The last topic

Before leaving for Sardinia, Sara had sent an article to her teacher at the Piombino technical institute: “For my future dream of becoming a good motorcyclist and traveling the world,” she wrote a few days ago. The incredulous Paolo Machetti, who had welcomed her into the Beta Racing Team (of which he is the founder) and under its protective wing: “For me she was like a daughter, since I also have one of the same age. He started racing with us on motorcycles, first competing in enduro championships and then starting in rallies. He had an unbridled passion for motorcycles, as the assignment sent to his teacher makes clear. Unfortunately it will not be able to make it happen. Today everyone stopped, the second round of the Sundalion will not be executed. Tuesday is back to normal. The other pilots asked it to pay tribute to Sara.
