Thanks to the poster of the Adriano Zamboni photo with the Chesini.

In reading some Italian stories about Zamboni I came across reference to a "particular" kind of racethat Zamboni raced in in 1960 called thre "ciclomotoristico delle Nazioni" that was won by Luison Bobet. This race was part TT and part ridden behind motorbikes (well, something motorized).

I thought this might refer to the Gran Prixe of Nations but that was won by Baldini in 1960 so this must be something else.

So what race was this?

1960 - Giunge 8° nel Giro ciclomotoristico delle Nazioni vinto dal campione francese Luison Bobet, una gara particolare a tappe che si disputava parte in linea e parte dietro motori, giungendo 2° in due tappe.
