Enduro / Fausto Oldrati

The racer.
The test rider.
The development.

Working with Fausto Oldrati brought racing experience and testing insight to the GORI project. The historical source describes his contribution to motorcycle development and his relationship with the enduro world.

For the 1975 Six Days on the Isle of Man, the book records a gold medal and third place in the 75 class for Oldrati. His testimony also recalls gold in 1976 at Zeltweg: results that reflect the importance of performance and reliability on the ground.
