A moment of emotion and joy also for those who started the stage: the mayor of Marano, Mauro Popesso, the president of the Region, Massimiliano Fedriga, and the regional councilor for infrastructure and territory, Graziano Pizzimenti, who wanted to be there , on the bridge, from where the cyclists were given the start.
