BGY Granfondo, 2300 cyclists from all over the world pedal on the roads of Bergamo

The statements

Giorgio Gori, Mayor of Bergamo: “Today we experienced another spectacular day, the result of an organization that has thirty years of experience and a strong and rooted working group. A team that is supported by another team, that of the sponsors who promote sport and our territory with facts. The union between sponsor, organizer and public bodies is an essential element to guarantee the future of this event”.

Giovanni Sanga, President of SACBO: “A great event that we have enthusiastically joined since last year. Being part of it is strategic for us, not only to validate our reputation as the first Bike Friendly airport in Europe, but also to confirm our dimension as an international airport linked to the Bergamo area; a bond that will be further strengthened when the rail connection between the airport and the city is created”.

Giorgia Gandossi, Councilor of the Province of Bergamo: “It was an honor to launch an event that ideally links the entire territory of the province of Bergamo, uniting it thanks to a sporting event that promotes a healthy lifestyle, more sustainable mobility and enhances environmental beauty of the city and our valleys”.

Giuseppe Manenti, GMS Organizer: “Today we have crowned a commitment that began on May 15, 2023, the day after the first edition. Organizing an event like this requires a great commitment and a great assumption of responsibility, on our part but also on the part of the approximately 1000 people who, with their professionalism, make the granfondo possible. Obviously we can’t help but thank them and all the sponsors who support us, some of which since the first edition in 1996; this means having established a relationship that goes far beyond a simple partnership.”
