Four friends begin this Monday, in India, the “Rota de Gama”. They will travel by motorbike through the cities visited by Vasco da Gama. Before departure, they explained the trip to SIC.
Let’s start by trying to find out what drives two ex-bank employees and two engineers racing around the world on motorbikes. The idea came up six months ago, in an informal conversation. Miguel wanted to close a cycle of tributes.
D. João II entrusted Vasco da Gama with the Impossible Mission and these “navigators”, by land, want to rescue the same route. In a month they will do 10 thousand km, an average of 300 per day.
The motorcycles have their own names: São Gabriel, São Rafael, Berrio and São Miguel.
Recently, in Sines, there was a ceremony to mark the beginning of this adventure. Now, in Porto, there are worried family members, many friends and those who think it’s crazy.
In India, during the election period, they will be received at the Embassy in Goa.
