More than a race, a people’s celebration. Because on Thursday, in Fano, even the people on the balconies dressed in pink. And not just on the balconies overlooking the circuit. On Thursday, in the City of Fortune, everything was tinged with the symbolic color of the Giro d’Italia, in a climate of sharing and fun that moved the ‘debate’ well above the controversies on the eve of closures, forced removals of cars and various inconveniences.
But in addition to the party, as we know, it was first and foremost a competition. The winner was the 31-year-old Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe, with a remarkable lead over the two athletes following him: his compatriot Jhonatan Narváez and the Belgian Quinten Hermans.
193 kilometers were covered by the cyclists who started from Martinsicuro. After Abruzzo the Marche. The provinces of Ascoli Piceno and Fermo, then gradually towards Pesaro. From above – Italy and beyond – they were able to appreciate the villages of Mondolfo and San Costanzo, followed by Fano. The destination, the point of arrival, in a decorated and festive Viale Gramsci. First, however, Tre Ponti, Bellocchi, Cuccurano, Monte Giove, the Darsena, the port. Everyone on display for the great sporting spectacle broadcast worldwide.
We offer you a first photo gallery of the day – edited by Simone Celli, Elena Arceci and Francesco Arceci -, which will be followed by other shots and a video story.
