In the province of Teramo everything is ready to welcome the 8th stage of the Giro d’Italia Spoleto-Prati di Tivo with arrival scheduled for Saturday 11 May
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 its candidacy to host a stage of the Tour of Italy. There are many initiatives put in place by the GAL and the municipalities involved to respond to the requests of the numerous enthusiasts.
The arrival of the 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.
After departure in Umbria, the caravan will enter Abruzzo in the Capitignano area and then cross Montereale and Campotosto in the province of L’Aquila and enter the province of Teramo between Aprati di Crognaleto and then Pietracamela; the city of Montorio al Vomano has been identified as the headquarters of the stage.
To encourage citizen participation, the Gran Sasso Laga GAL, in agreement with the municipalities of Montorio al Vomano and Pietracamela, has promoted some initiatives which involve the organization of shuttle buses and the presence of services and itinerant refreshment activities along the path.
There are 15 free shuttles that will be operational from 8 am: the departure point has been established for the morning of Saturday 11 May near the Pigliacelli stadium in Montorio al Vomano, where it will be possible to park. The return is expected in the evening.
