BIKE on Newsstands
È on newsstands is the new issue of BIKE magazine, a quarterly on the world of cycling from Tiscali Group. The cover story è an exclusive interview with ski champion Sofia Goggia who talks about her relationship with the bicycle. “I use it to train and have fun on the hills of Bergamo. Sometimes I almost feel more free on the bike than on the snow”, says the downhill skier from Bergamo, who will return to the World Cup in December after her injury: “Only then will she understand if she will be more cautious thinking about the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics”.
Fabio Baldato, sport director of Uae Emirates, explains the secrets of his famous cheers to the cyclists from the’flagship, which became famous with Tadej Pogacar s victory in the Tour of Flanders 2023: “They are not just shouts on the radio, but reasoning shared on the eve of the race in the hotel. With Tadej you always have to confront. What I like è that he doesn’t always listen to the letter. After two Tour de France finishes in second place, è he has become much more punctilious in every detail”.
