Let T be the complex projective torus, and X the surface CP 1 × T .Let X Gal be its Galois cover with respect to a generic projection to CP 2 .In this paper we compute the fundamental group of X Gal , using the degeneration and regeneration techniques, the Moishezon-Teicher braid monodromy algorithm and group calculations.We show that π 1 (X Gal ) = Z 10 .
