Ricca: “With the autumn classics you can discover our territory”

“After the great start of the Giro d’Italia 2021, with the autumn classics we return to let the world discover the beauties of our territory – said Fabrizio Ricca, regional councilor for sport on Friday during the presentation -. The arrival in Superga will allow you to admire Turin from above from a point that represents a very strong Turin identity. The next day, the start and the first kilometers of the Gran Piemonte will be an opportunity to give prestige to the Canavese, a territory that is often not properly valued, as well as Valsesia, which has already had an important showcase during the last Corsa Rosa ».

Talking about “letting the world discover” is not an exaggeration. “Cycling is not just sport and entertainment – underlined Paolo Bellino, CEO of RCS Sport – but a vehicle for the promotion of tourism and the territory, with images of the two races, and of the territories crossed, which will be broadcast and seen in the five continents” .

The interest of the public is also ensured by the placement of the two races in the calendar: between the World Championship which takes place on 26 September in Belgium and the Giro di Lombardia, the last classic monument of the season, scheduled for Saturday 9 October. Revenge of the world championship and finishing for the “Classic of dead leaves”: Milan-Turin and Gran Piemonte will thus see many Wolrd Tour teams (the “Serie A” of cycling) and top-level athletes on the world scene at the start.

Just think that two years ago, on the Oropa ramps, Egan Bernal triumphed, fresh from his victory in the Tour de France. At both races will be present (as well as in Lombardia) the Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec, led in the flagship by the Canavese Giovanni Ellena: a golden opportunity, for the athletes in red and white jersey, to show off on roads they know well. –
