Overview

• Fabio Crescitelli, 17, and Laerte Gauli, 20, died after their motorcycles collided late Saturday on via Mantero in Grandate.
• The crash occurred around 23:30 on a straight stretch parallel to the A9, with both riders thrown and their bikes destroyed.
• Carabinieri in Cantù are reconstructing the dynamics, weighing a frontal impact versus side-by-side riding at high speed and interviewing witnesses who called for help.
• The area lacks cameras, complicating the inquiry; the victims were taken to Ospedale Sant'Anna and later released to their families with no autopsy reportedly ordered.
• Gauli rode a Kawasaki Ninja and Crescitelli a TM Racing 125 Enduro; Crescitelli was driving with a learner permit.
