It kicked off at Benevento the tenth stage of Giro-Ean amateur event that takes place using pedal-assisted bicycles on the same days and on the same roads as Tour of Italy. A one-of-a-kind experience that combines tourism, sustainability and well-being, and also represents an opportunity to enjoy the landscapes of the Bel Paese, without the competitive stress of the official race.
