Laughing and joking about many truths. This is always the case to a “sheep day” the radio one program conducted by Geppi Cucciari And Giorgio Lauro. And this morning to say his truths and to remove some pebbles from the shoes there was the mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala who yesterday celebrated his 67 years (“but I feel 57 …”) and spoke of many things concerning Milan and concerning him.

And so from the San Siro stadium that will be sold by September to Milan and Inter who will build a new one in front and then dismantle it (“regenerate it …” says the mayor), to the politics that will be. To that left center of which it will not be the “Federator” but that in two years, when his mandate will end, he could see him candidate for a national role. And then the bike. The 215 km from Milan to Zoagli who will pedal with some friends on June 21 and the dream of going, always pedaling, in a couple of weeks from Milan to Palermo. And then bring the Giro and the Sanremo back to Milan. “Of course, next year the Giro has to return to the city- he explains to the microphones of Radiouno Sala- and he also knows Urbano Cairo that I will meet next week. In the years ago we have a little bit discussed on the money because he has a short laborer and I too … but now not. The ride must return to Milan but not with a stage that arrives in the sprint. It takes an important stop, like a time trial … From Pavia.

And so far everything is fine. Indeed very well. But one thing is to tell her things another is to do them. Milan with the tour, with Sanremo but also with many other major sporting events from the marathon and so has never had an idyllic relationship in all these years. Do you want because, as Sala said to Radiouno, events are part of economic negotiations between those who organize and those who would like to host them and everyone does its accounts but also because the Milanese administration does not spread red rugs to those who want to bring the great sport to Milan: from limits to roads, to the costs of urban supervision, to the extraordinary of the “cast iron”, to the environmental mugogons of the councilors in the joint of the environmental impact of the great sporting events. And then there are the assessments of political opportunities that a mayor does (and in all these years he has not only made room, it must be said), on the consent that an event creates or takes away. Most of the Milanese see how smoking in the eyes the traffic blocks for a marathon, let alone for a chronometer of the tour that would paralyze part of the city for more than half a day. That’s why bringing back and Sanremo in Milan is not just a matter of money and does not depend only on the meeting that Sala will have with Cairo next week. Laughing and joking about many truths, but not all …
