The governor of the Piedmont region Alberto Cirio he answered journalists’ questions on the occasion of the third stage of the Tour de France, which is about to arrive in a sprint in Turin. By the way, among Cirio’s statements there is also a metaphor for cycling sprints: «As for the start of the Vuelta a España in 2025 we are in a sprint, the ATP Finals of tennis have also taught us the importance of being present over many years in major sporting events.”
In fact, Piedmont is now systematically investing in cycling, as demonstrated by the great start of the Giro d’Italia (both this year and in 2021), the two days of the Tour currently underway, the now systematic passage of the Giro Next Gen, and the now advanced negotiations for the start of next year’s Vuelta recently confirmed by the director of the Spanish Grand Tour Guillén himself.
The Piedmontese governor Cirio also spoke about other topics related to cycling and sporting events, you can hear him at the opening of the episode of the BlaBlaBike podcast which will be released tonight!
