“Dreams in Flight”, the special award by Maestro Rando for the winners of the 2026 BGY Airport Granfondo

Once again, a precious bronze bas-relief created by the artist from Bergamo will reward the overall winners of the international amateur race, scheduled for Sunday, May 10, 2026 in Bergamo. A replica medal will be awarded to all finishers.

 

For the 2026 edition of the BGY Airport Granfondo, scheduled for Sunday, May 10 in Bergamo under the aegis of the Italian Cycling Federation, the overall winners will once again be awarded a unique trophy combining artistic excellence with deep symbolic meaning.

The prize is a prestigious bronze bas-relief created by Maestro Rando, an exclusive artwork that continues a creative journey inspired by the connection between aviation and cycling. After the fuselage in 2023, the window in 2024 and the rudder in 2025, this year’s concept evolves into an even more refined and evocative theme: the dream of flight.

Flying has always symbolized the possibility of reaching distant destinations, loved ones, and dream locations. It is a suspended moment in which we imagine what lies ahead, envision achievements, and look toward new horizons. In much the same way, the bicycle represents pure freedom: it is often our first experience of “flight” as children, introducing us to movement, independence and discovery.

Through cycling, we dream, explore and prepare ourselves for major challenges such as the BGY Airport Granfondo. Maestro Rando’s trophy embodies this powerful connection, where flight and cycling become expressions of freedom, ambition and the desire to push beyond limits.

The result is not only an artwork of great value, but also a meaningful tribute to the commitment and determination of all athletes competing in this international granfondo.

Adding to the uniqueness of the event, a miniature replica of the trophy will be featured in the finisher medals – an important gesture by the organization to celebrate every participant who reaches their personal goal: crossing the finish line.

The BGY Airport Granfondo once again stands out not only for its competitive and organizational excellence, but also for its attention to detail and its commitment to delivering a truly memorable experience – enhanced by prestigious symbols such as the trophy designed by Maestro Rando.
