The first rider, Mario Meloni, received great applause, as he raced the Ardia today together with his companions Michele Carboni and Costantino Atzas, after yesterday's great fear with the disastrous fall which caused the injury of five riders and an employee of the safety .

The gallop was perfect and the vote in San Costantino was resolved as per tradition. The knights re-enacted Constantine's double victory in front of thousands of spectators. The Ardia was dedicated to the injured who were unable to run today.

The celebrations will end on Sunday 21 July.
