Sartiglia 2023 has its first race leader . The Gremio di San Giuseppe nominated Giampaolo Mugheddu this evening: he will lead the demonstration on Tuesday 21 February . «A great emotion, now the fun begins» commented the rider immediately after the presentation at the Gremio.
Giampaolo Mugheddu, 38, a construction engineer, will be accompanied in this adventure by his brother Gianluca and Francesco Loi . A highly experienced trio, who have raced together several times in the past and who have already worn top hat and camellia: Gianluca was Componidori dei Falegnami in 2007 while Francesco Loi led the Contadini a year ago. Giampaolo Mugheddu is at his fourteenth Sartiglia, with nine stars (two are gold); in 2007 he was su terzu by his brother Gianluca and in 2012 by Antonio Murruzzu.
Now the expectation is growing for the nomination in the Gremio di San Giovanni which usually formalizes its head of the race on the days of the feast of the Immaculate Conception and the president Mauro Solinas seems willing to respect the tradition.
