Read the article. Then match the sentence parts below to make complete sentences. (Mark 1.75)

The Palio di Siena takes place on 2nd and 16th August, in Siena, Italy. The city is divided into 17 wards.
Ten of these wards can enter a rider and a horse for the race. In preparation for the race, the course is
covered with a thick layer of sand.

Immediately before the race, there is a colorful parade, which includes flag wavers in medieval costumes
and military police on horseback. As the daylight starts to fade, a firecracker signals the entrance of the
horses.
The jockeys ride bareback around the course, three times. It doesn’t take longer than 90 seconds to
complete the race, but the track has sharp tuns so it is full of drama and danger, and sometimes the
jockeys are thrown off their horses. The jockeys can use whips on their own horses and on other jockeys to
upset the competition. The winner is awarded a banner of painted silk called a ‘palio’ in Italian.
