We are proud to return to being the capital of cycling in a territory, ours, which has always been closely linked to two wheels, hosting challenges that have definitively become legendary. Among other things, in 2022 Treviso will be the European City of Sport and the arrival of a stage of the Giro will be the best way to celebrate this recognition. We can’t wait to return to celebrate the Pink Caravan with all the warmth that only the Treviso people can show on these occasions.

«It is a Giro full of excellent opportunities for sprinters – commented the Italian sprinter and pistard, Elia Viviani – Perhaps the arrival of the first stage is more favorable for a finisseur or a sprinter who holds good uphill. I would like to be able to fight to win the Ciclamino jersey again and try to win some stages like the one in Treviso, close to my fans, or the one in Reggio Emilia. There is certainly ground to repeat a Giro like the one in 2018: it would be a dream ».
