The Mille Miglia route for 2015 . . .

. . . was recently announced at a media conference. It is both an evolution and a revolution. As always, it’s impossible to please everybody with the route, but there were more objections than usual this year because the organizers have chosen to skip the Futa and Raticosa. People should remember, though, that for better or worse only one location featured in all 24 runnings of the original Mille Miglia: Brescia. Futa and Raticosa, for example, were missed out in 1940 (because of the war) and 1949.
