The passage of the Giro in Montebelluna
The “visit relatives-fans” for Andrea Vendrame, stocker in the stage of Bagno di Romagna is a must
TREVISO. In thousands on the roads to the Citadel-Monte Zoncolan (204 km) which on Saturday 22 May kicks off the decisive week of Giro d’Italia number 104.
First the embrace of the square Pierobon in Cittadella, the walled city full of public for the return of great cycling nine months after the Tricolore professionals (and 13 years after the stage of the Giro centered by the British Mark Cavendish).
About ten kilometers scarce in the Alta Padovana, before reaching the Marca in Castelfranco. A fleeting greeting for Treviso enthusiasts, usually accustomed to departures or arrivals: this year there is a crossing of 60 km, before landing in Friuli with the ascent to the Caneva castle, the Forcella Monte Rest and the assault on the Zoncolan .
Crowd in Montebelluna, where the Giro arrived in 2001 with the victory of Matteo Tosatto, but also a Volpago, Arcade, Spresiano, Conegliano, Cordignano.
The inevitable “Visit relatives-fans” for Andrea Vendrame, stacker in the Bagno di Romagna stage: awaiting him at Ponte della Priula and San Vendemiano.
Already in Castelfranco the day’s escape takes shape: 11 elements, including Vincenzo Albanese, Lorenzo Fortunato, Jacopo Mosca, Edoardo Affini and Alessandro Covi.
