Francesco Moser in Bitonto! On April 23rd at the Traetta theater – BitontoLive.it

When he gets on the bike, Francesco Moser immediately becomes “the sheriff”. Then they will also call him Franz, Kaiser, Moserone. A natural leader, forged with hard work in the fields. The charm of the generous-hearted mountain man who becomes universal, because he is a real person, he runs and wins, more than anyone. On the road, on the track. In Italy, in Europe, in the world. 273 times. He has won practically everything. No other Italian like him. And he, who comes from the mountains and with a passion for the fields, for the vine, for wine, also becomes one of the greatest innovators. A sort of revolution. The bicycle with lenticular wheels, windproof lenses. They were used to set the hour record in Mexico City. The “peasant” who surpasses Merckx the “bourgeois” of cycling, nicknamed “the cannibal”.

The April 23 Bitonto will have the honor of hosting Francesco Moser at the Tommaso Traetta municipal theater, forty years after the hour record, the Milan-Sanremo, the 1984 Tour of Italy, the legendary year in which Moser took us to the moon.
