Giro kicks off, Dagnoni: “Amazing route and top-notch protagonists”
FCI President Cordiano Dagnoni, who will be present in Fossacesia at the start of the Giro d’Italia, brings the greetings of the Italian cycling movement to the pink caravan: ‘The Giro d’Italia is a great popular novel involving a thousand villages and one country. It represents cycling in its highest form, as the highest technical expression and as an extraordinary moment of promotion, sports and tourism.”
“As a simple fan, I hope that this edition of the Pink Race will keep its promises. The elements are all there: first-rate protagonists, a route that announces surprises at every stage, riders capable of breaking the bank at any moment, Italian cyclists capable of winning stages and also fighting for the classification, young talents ready to blossom for good.”
“As President of the Italian Cycling Federation, however, my sincerest wish is that thanks to the exploits of the tadpoles more and more little boys and girls will approach our sport, in the hope of being able to imitate their victories or just for the sake of being part of this great story.”
“I would like to thank, on behalf of the cycling movement, the Institutions, Local Authorities, RCS Sports Organizations, teams (riders, technicians and staff), race commissioners, police forces, motostaff, volunteers, communication workers and all those who, with their valuable support, make it possible each year to write a new chapter of this extraordinary tale. Happy ride to all.”
