The initiatives promoted by the GAL Gran Sasso Laga and the municipalities involved in the 8th stage of the Giro d’Italia Spoleto-Prati di Tivo, whose arrival is scheduled for Saturday 11 May, were presented in Teramo
With the 2024 edition, the pink race returns after 49 years to the Teramo side of the Gran Sasso thanks to the commitment of the Gran Sasso Laga GAL which last year put forward the “candication” to the president of the regional council Marco Marsilio so that he could bring it to the attention of the organizers. The only flaw for the promoters of the event is the definitive negative opinion of the National Park for the pink lighting of part of the highest peak of the Apennines to celebrate the stage of the Giro d’Italia with the arrival at Prati di Tivo.
The arrival in Prati di Tivo represents an important moment of the race, considering that it is the first real climb of the Giro and will certainly provide information on the protagonists most credited with the final victory. An extraordinary opportunity to promote the area considering the great media circus that follows the race, but also a moment of celebration for all two-wheel enthusiasts who will be able to admire many champions up close along the streets of Capitignano, Montereale and Campotosto in the province of L ‘Aquila and then enter the province of Teramo between Aprati di Crognaleto and Pietracamela, while Montorio al Vomano was identified as the stage headquarters. To encourage citizen participation, the Gran Sasso Laga LAG in agreement with the municipalities of Montorio al Vomano and Pietracamela has promoted a series of initiatives which involve the organization of shuttle buses departing from the Montorio headquarters to Pietracamela and returning to also the presence of itinerant refreshment businesses along the route.
